I used to remove it from my base Java containers, in order not to risk a legal litigation from Oracle (just in case). One row less in my Dockerfiles.

- dnomad 9y agoIronically there was never any real legal threat. The whole world freaked out over one totally fabricated story by a rag like The Register and everybody thought Flight Recorder was somehow going to let Oracle sue them. In reality the "commercial features" were free for developer machines, test environments and production environments for "evaluation purposes." It was much more of a CYA thing then some imminent legal apocalypse. That said having it be free in OpenJDK is great.
- theshrike79 9y agoTo be honest, Oracle has a history of being extremely litigous and their licensing structure is arcane at best. The best option is just to stay away from Oracle Java and Oracle Mysql stuff unless you've vetted their use with lawyers on both sides.
