Java is paid platform without clear pricing, licensing and patents.
- Discombulator 7y agoMany (most) JDK distributions are free for all usages and fully open source. Can you give some references for the patents issue you mentioned?
- betaby 7y agoSo you agreed pricing and licensing is not clear? If still not, here is the source https://upperedge.com/knowledge-center/documents/oracle-podcasts/podcast-changes-to-oracle-java-licensing-in-2019/ https://upperedge.com/knowledge-center/documents/oracle-podc... As for the patents I don't have a source quickly available. Pricing and licensing are already bad enough. If I sell java based software, customers have to worry about licensing from Oracle. If I sell SaS I have to worry for what and how to pay. Those factors are big risks.
