Java was open-source, but not free. Oracle tries everything to squeeze every last penny out of a company if they use Java or MySQL, including threatening with litigation. If Oracle can't make humongous profits from a product they simply drop it or run it into the ground.

That’s why they completely open-sourced it and recently made even LTS-support of OracleJDK free of charge until the next LTS? Sure, they do make plenty of money from huge corporations still going with paid support for java 8 (I believe it will be supported till 2030 at least?!), like banks. But it ain’t a crime to ask money for proper services.
