In this case it means GPL+Classpath Exception. The link goes to the Oracle provided OpenJDK builds.

Oracle also has their own build of the JDK which is not GPL. That is free to use in commercial software as well, under their "No-Fee Terms and Conditions"

I think you're correct right now, but Oracle has a tendency to change their minds frequently. Tomorrow you might be migrating or paying.
