The Much Talked About Free Java License Is Here
Oracle corporation stated in September 2017 that it would publish the JDK under the GPL as “Oracle OpenJDK” and also under an Oracle Technology Network (OTN) licence as the Oracle JDK. While providing Oracle OpenJDK builds under the GPL was well-received, developers, academia, and companies expressed a desire for the trusted, rock-solid Oracle JDK to be available under unambiguously free terms licence as well. Oracle expressed that it values comments from the developer community and is glad to share that the request will be addressed with Java 17. Support to JDK According to the article, Oracle will continue to support Oracle JDK LTS releases under the NFTC for at least one full year following the release of the succeeding LTS version, providing you with greater upgrade options. While you can continue to use the six-monthly JDK release cadence to gain faster access to new features, performance improvements, and other enhancements, you now have the time necessary to move from one Oracle JDK LTS to the next if that is your preferred approach. Oracle JDK Licensing information may be found in the Oracle Java SE Licensing FAQ. No additional costs Without incurring additional costs, the Oracle Java SE subscription continues to include value-added services such as the Java Management Service, Advanced Management Console, and GraalVM Enterprise. With 24×7 support (from the same Oracle developers who develop the source code for the majority of the Java platform used globally) and a low monthly cost of just $25 (USD) per processor or $2.50 (USD) per user, the Oracle Java SE Subscription continues to be a high-value choice for thousands of organisations, large and small.

The Free Java License is now available. The distinctions are purely aesthetic. It’s the same software, but it’s distributed under a different licence.
