No IBM has its own full JDK that you can download, but the rest of it other than the JVM is not being open sourced at this time. That's my understanding at least.

The IBM SDK for Java is based on OpenJDK, just like most (not all) other Java releases that are out there. IBM does not have "its own full JDK".
