Enterprises would have to pay only if they want to buy support from Oracle. Oracle provides the JDK, without support, 100% free, for any use: http://jdk.java.net/

Well, yeah. I was just assuming that the enterprises must want support? Because why else would they be so up in arms? As you correctly pointed out, they can download and use Oracle's JDK for free. So if they don't want support, then I really have no idea at all why they are raising such a stink?
