Exactly. There is zero technical reason to use the Oracle JDK. OpenJDK licensing is GPLv2 with the classpath exception. Nice and simple. If you want to get your arm twisted and pay more, Oracle indeed provides you that option. You can also get a nice linux distribution from them and a database. And companies actually exist that buy all those things from them. But for the rest of the world, you can also get certified JDKs from Azul, Amazon, Red Hat and a few others. All fine choices. Pretty much the entire financial industry, including some of the most conservative companies on the planet, depends on Java and I doubt most of them are paying Oracle for that. Why would they? |
