Thx, this is great news, but why the back and forth, they thought anyone would pay for something that has been free for 27 years?

Java does not belong to Oracle, it belongs to whom ever codes Java. I have still to find a company that understands open-source.

Oracle finances 90+% of the development of the free and open source OpenJDK, and just made their own OracleJDK completely free.

What is not free is support for a specific older version.
