> ...Oracle branded JVMs will no longer be free for production use.
I was confused by the indignation in this thread. A JetBrains blog post [1] seems to say that if you have been coasting on OpenJDK in production, as long as you don't plan to use any OracleJDK-specific features now or in the future, and as long as you use Java 11 in all your implementations, then the license change is not a material difference to you. Not supporting older Java specs for free sounds reasonable to me, is there something wrong with that posture that someone can care to enlighten me upon?
I'm just noting the change in licensing. As I mentioned in the other fork of this thread we're going to move from Oracle 8 to OpenJDK 11 soon, and that's great. No problem at all.
Literally all I've tried to say is that there is a license change on the Oracle branded version, and you need to take note of it if you have been using the Oracle branded version and were going to continue. This is not really a complaint!
