Are mission control and JFR still Oracle Audit Poison Pills in the otherwise free-to-use JDK? Or is everything free of Oracle Lawyer Attack now? There was a period of time where if you used those, then Oracle got to charge you money and audit your org. That really put a chilling effect on me learning modern jdk tooling.

Both are fully open-source under the OpenJDK umbrella. JFR got open-sourced with Java 11 (also backported to 1.8 since then), and as such is subject to the license of OpenJDK (GPLv2 + Classpath Exception). JMC is also open-source (Universal Permissive License). Note though specific licensing may apply for particular binary distributions. As usual: I'm not a lawyer, check with you own legal counsel etc.
