Does this create a loophole where you have a shell company with 1 person in charge of “running” your Java applications. You can obviously still do development on OpenJDK or whatever.
I mean, too much of a PITA to do when there are reasonable alternatives, but interesting to think about.
I remember when oracle bought sun and it really felt like java was likely to die because of its new owner. It is amazing how successful it has continued to be in spite of that.
