Dunno what previous poster is referring to, but none that I know of.
For example Amazon Corretto is on GitHub, and Amazon gives a pretty good breakdown of the patches that make it different from the equivalent OpenJDK version (funnily enough, most of the changes are actually just backporting bug fixes from OpenJDK11 into Amazon's equivalent of OpenJDK8)
There's the Oracle JDK which has some onerous licensing, but IIRC the actual JDK is the same, they just include some extra binaries in the distribution
