OracleJDK is 99% OpenJDK since 8 or 7. OracleJDK comes with some minor performance improvements, used to contain WebStart (removed in 11), Rhino and MissionControl (now GPL2 included in OpenJDK), some build tricks. Not sure what are differences between OracleJDK11 and OpenJDK11, but pretty sure it's really minor and 99.9% of developers won't need them. Oracle actually wants us to use OpenJDK. Remember that OpenJDK has been "forked" a few times already, by Azul, more recently Amazon and RedHat.
