Is Java a cash cow for oracle?
1 comments

It won't last long but yes. Recent anecdote, we purchases 1 or 2 years of licenses for the oracle JVM across thousands of hosts to give us time to migrate "properly and safely" to openJDK. Migration has very high man power and risks costs, Oracle knew it very well before their purchase of Sun.
