![]() ![]() ![]() When you go to the page to download Java 11, it offers a link to Oracle's Java 11 license page (which you agree to when downloading it). (And when I use the term "JDK" here, I'm using that in contrast to the OpenJDK implementation mentioned above, not in distinction from the JRE.) In this post, I elaborate on this question of just WHO is impacted by the change, pointing to specific Oracle resources which clarify things.Īs for Oracle's Java 11 JDK, the limitation is obviousįirst, regarding Oracle's Java 11 JDK, it's very obvious. I also discuss in those posts the option of "openJDK" implementations which, including Oracle's, clearly ARE permitted to be used for production purposes, and for which the limitations discussed here do not apply. See the first and second for more on the issues (as well as Java 9 and 10) and some options for those facing this challenge. This is a 3rd post of mine in a series regarding this matter, of Oracle's changed stance (in 2018) regarding a) who can use for free their Java 8 updates released after Jan 2019 and b) who can use for free their Java 11 JVM (at all). And I may revise the content as necessary.ĭoes Oracle's change regarding Java and limiting who can use what for free apply only to "commercial" users (as in "corporate" or "business" use), or do the limitations apply to ANY production use (including non-"commercial" orgs like non-profits, agencies, schools, etc.)? I offer here my understanding based on research of Oracle's own resources.īottom line: these limitations DO apply to ANY PRODUCTION use, not just "commercial" use, definitely regarding Java 11, and seemingly clearly regarding Java 8. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Some content may be outdated-though not necessarily. ![]()
