OpenJDK (maintained by Oracle) is GPL, but Oracle JDK is a different codebase with different features under a commercial license. Oracle's OpenJDK builds are distributed under the GPL, like Microsoft's.
- kaba0 3y agoYou would be right, if you would have made this comment a bit more than a decade ago. The only remaining differences between OracleJDK and OpenJDK are logo, and trivial things - Oracle has opened up everything else.
- n2d4 3y agoAs far as I'm aware, Oracle JDK gets fixes that OpenJDK doesn't, and is under a commercial license that's not GPL (even if it's free-as-in-beer under certain circumstances)? Is that wrong?
