Your corporate security crew are keenly aware that Oracle's licensing is just a wedge to help an army of lawyers invade your office. OpenJDK must be seen as guilty by association. There is no good reason to play around the legal nuclear pit that is maintained by Larry's minions. As for jdk8 vs jdk11, backward compatibility was broken when J2EE javax.* classes were rightfully removed from the standard lib after Java 8. But Oracle (again) disallowed usage of the javax namespace in external libs and everybody now has to update to the poorly named jakarta replacement.
