Guy quoted in article is very misleading.
Oracle promises to allow legacy users to renew under their current Ts&Cs
So no price increases for any existing Oracle Java deployments. Yet then they quote the CEO of a compliance firm who says:
We have one customer who has a Java subscription, a Universal License Agreement for Oracle Java, the whole company, but now with the new pricing, their cost for Java goes up 10-fold.
Uh no, their price doesn't go up at all, you just said that. Also the new thing is the "universal license agreement" that applies to the whole company, so they can't have that already.
the average we're seeing is 2x to 4x price increase that this will incur because customers were very good about minimizing Oracle Java usage and getting a lower price
If you are minimizing usage then you don't need to buy any new licenses, and so prices do not increase. This whole article seems to revolve around the view of this one guy that although Oracle has already said existing licenses will continue as is, actually that doesn't count for anything and should be ignored.
