The article specifically mentions Java 11.

I'm sure Jetbrains more than anybody knows about Java's licensing...

Oracle is so supportive, free and open that it is suing Google for copying from a free software.
Don't get me wrong, Oracle sucks, I know—but the article (kind of) acknowledges that and underlines that you don't have to do business with Oracle to use Java.
