I believe the article is mistaken. Their License says:
>"Program(s)" refers to Oracle software provided by Oracle pursuant to this Agreement and any updates, error corrections, and/or Program Documentation provided by Oracle.
Not programs you create using the JDK
- marcosdumay 8y agoSo, when one reads unclear language from the part of Oracle, one does not interpret it in the most antagonistic way possible? Has Oracle been restructured recently, or are you expecting me to ignore the entire company's history?

- AnimalMuppet 8y agoWell, if you ship Java software, it has to run on a JVM. You often ship the JVM you want with the software, or else help the customer get the JVM installed. If you install or help them install Oracle's JVM, you may still have a problem.

This is a huge change that I probably would not have noticed.
