What a bad article, unclear contents and based on only one source - which by the way wants to sell his services. Going to the Oracle Java site the menu says: Java SE Java EE Java ME Java SE Support Java SE Advanced & Suite Java Embedded Java DB Web Tier Java Card Java TV IANAL The article seems to be about "Java SE Advanced & Suite" including JRockit VM and other advanced tools. The license on the Java SE download page http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index-jsp-138363.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/inde... here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/index.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/... does not include the words intelligent systems general purpose computing so it's unclear of what download TheRegister is talking about. [Edit] After downloading the Windows JDK the installer says "The Java Mission Control ... is now available as a part of the JDK". There is an app "Java Mission Control" after installation. There is no click through EULA during installation. There is also no linked license in the app which I could find. Is the term in the click-through EULA of the installer?

No. Did you actually read the entire article? "Java SE is free for what Oracle defines as “general purpose computing”...But it is customers in these general-purpose settings getting hit by LMS. The reason is there’s no way to separate the paid Java SE sub products from the free Java SE umbrella at download as Oracle doesn’t offer separate installation software"

  From the article "Java SE is free but Java SE Advanced Desktop, Advanced and Suite are not. Java SE Suite, for example, costs $300 per named user with a support bill of $66; there’s a per-processor option of $15,000 with a $3,300 support bill"
