You don't have to jump through any hoops. If you don't want to deal with Oracle, don't be an enterprise customer of Oracle and instead just get some openjdk distribution.

From several sources:
- Oracle themselves, at jdk.java.net - Microsoft, at microsoft.com/openjdk - Red Hat ... - Azul Systems ... - Amazon - Bell Soft - Canonical (Ubuntu ships OpenJDK binaries built by them) - build yourself?
Just go to https://openjdk.org/ and click on the "download" link.
Or use your OS package manager and <pkgManager> install openjdk. Problem solved.
Just like any other software, you know ?

That download link takes you to jdk.java.net, which hosts OpenJDK builds built by Oracle.
I don't get it, what is wrong with that ? Those are OpenJDK binaries and also explicitly named as such not Oracle JDK binaries.

I am saying that those binaries are built by Oracle:
"Production and Early-Access OpenJDK Builds, from Oracle"
That's all.
