That might be true for other Oracle products like the DB, but has that been true for Java and openjdk?


Sure. Here's just one example I was able to quickly find in the browser history:

You can easily just not use the Oracle JDK, though, unless you're running commercial software which requires running on the Oracle runtime to get technical support.

As others have said, the problem is not the runtime, but libraries: many major .NET libraries have been going fully commercial, you can't really trust the ecosystem anymore.
