And java 8 also has free support for 5 years (released Mar 18, 2014, free updates end on Jan 2019. (ok, 2 months short of 5 years.) The charging for support is for the stuff older than 5 years - that is the long-term support being charged for. This isn't anything new for Oracle or many other companies.
