The title _is_ inaccurate.
Java SE 8 business users do not need to buy a licence to keep using Java from January next year. That's not true. It's false. They can keep using the current versions of Java 8 as long as they like, for free.
What won't be free is for Oracle to give them new updated versions of Java 8.
This has _always_ been the case. Oracle always stops supporting old Java releases at some point. Do you think they should maintain them forever for free?
