Let's hope this shit backfires big time on their asses. Smells dirty like a 737max.

Oracle, the company with more lawyers than developers
That a critical security patch should need a license makes me want to throw up.

It is better to stay as far away from Oracle JDK as possible

@asgs oracle in general, they fucked up multiple good open source projects.

So once again.... Why use oeacle java instead of openjdk?

@netikras just drop java for a proper open source language/framework.
Like C#.net core!

What you didn't mark in red is that this is about Java 8. EIGHT. As in, free support ended in January 2019. Whoever has this still on his servers and no licence should be fired.

@Fast-Nop 8 or later, so that doesn't quite fly

@Redders what is not proper about java? What is not opensource about java?

@netikras see above.

@Redders frodo upvoted you, so? How does thst relate to java's opensourciness or being proper?

@netikras while it is open source, the policy of only distributing patches to paying users after all these years isn't really eruption the spirit of openness.

@Redders that is not correct. Java is open source and gree for everyone.

Oracle's modified version of java is not free and is not opensource. The same is with IBM java and other commercial java implementations.

Java, the original one, is both oss and free
