Funny joke, but Oracle is all but out of the equation at this point.

They've stepped back and become yet another JVM vendor that takes OpenJDK source and compiles it into a binary for users, sprinkled with some special sauce here and there, and just happens to charge for support.

That puts them in line with Azul, IBM, Amazon, AdoptOpenJDK Project, SAP, Red Hat, and a ton more.

You get your pick of JVM vendors now... That's a fantastic thing for Java.
