Which is exactly your point! The uncertainty/confusion is now super high due to Oracle's actions. It's literally fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

It's a bit like GPL and other open source licensing in the early days ("better not touch GPL code at all") rather than the now commonplace "Ahh, yes. No to AGPL, but GPL is fine since we won't distribute it. We'd prefer APL" practices.

I absolutely believe that experts in licensing understand the OpenJDK / Corretto / Microsoft's OpenJDK distro and so on. But it really did go from "yeah, openjdk is no problem" to "hmm, do we understand this?".
