Java’s reference implementation is OpenJDK, developed mostly by Oracle, and is completely open-source (GPL-2).

One can optionally buy support for it, that’s the whole deal. Not that hard, but apparently this is a minefield for some..

There’s that and there’s https://www.oracle.com/ca-en/downloads/licenses/binary-code-... , where using the wrong runtime flag makes you owe money.

Don't use them commercial features if you don't be want to pay for them. And don't download the Enterprise Oracle JRE from the Oracle website if you don't want to use them commercial features. We all should read terms&conditions more carefully.
