So developers are writing Java Runtime software that nobody is running at all?

  There's a reason B2B is distinguished from B2C.

  Oracle recommends developers pack a JRE with their individual applications now. No need for users to install a JRE or even know they’re using a java application.

    Wouldn't users still need a license to run Oracle's JRE?
    • javagram 7y ago
      They don’t need to use oracle JRE. Oracle has fully open-sourced the JRE under GPL (unlike Sun). If an app developer wants to use a version of the JDK other than that freely supplied by Oracle at https://openjdk.java.net/ https://openjdk.java.net/ , they can distribute AdoptOpenJDK, Apache Corretto, or any of the many other openjdk distributions.
