I agree that the blossoming of additional JDK distributions, spurred on by Oracle's initial license change, was a good thing. I'm a happy AdoptOpenJDK / Temurin user, at work and at home.
However, I don't see any benefit to this latest change in their stance. Everyone already had to wade their way through the confusion from that initial licensing change, and many (most?) spent a lot of time and effort getting to a new stable configuration on a different distro. Why spend more effort, again, to run back to Oracle JDK? I think most organizations have better things to do than deal with all this.
Also, who's to say Oracle won't change their licensing deal once again for Java 21?
