How it works when OpenJDK is distributed under GNU GPL?
Many corps still use Oracle Java 8 which is an expensive license. In some cases they think that Oracle Java is somehow better than OpenJDK. In other cases they still use old technologies like Applets or Java Webstart.
All in all, it’s in most cases technical debt.
And now it’s going to become quite literal debt
I think you can use openjdk just fine & basically oracle is trying to wring the last bits of cash out of a dying language. I’m so sad Java was ever used for anything, it’s a garbage fire
