I think I heard somewhere (please correct me if this is merely a malicious rumor) that the reason AdoptOpenJDK were denied a license to the official test suite (TCK) was that Oracle were not happy that OpenJ9 was offered as an option. Guess everyone else fell in line.

It's sad if that is the case because OpenJ9 is such a good alternative to Hotspot IMO.

... "somewhere" perhaps being here[1][2], where it's speculated that the issue is the technicality that OpenJ9 is Apache/Eclipse licensed and not GPL.
