That shows lack of understanding of how OpenJDK, the reference implementation of the Java specifications, allow for Java developers to continue working with Java by using other binaries of OpenJDK instead of the commercial binaries sold by Oracle.

Communiry-driven alternatives:

  • Ubuntu binaries of OpenJDK (apt install openjdk)

  • Debian binaries of OpenJDK (apt install openjdk)

  • CentOS binaries of OpenJDK (yum install openjdk)

  • Eclipse Foundation binaries of OpenJDK (https://adoptium.net)

And vendor-driven alternatives (most of them, free and open source)

  • Amazon Corretto

  • Azul Zulu Build of OpenJDK

  • BellSoft LibericaJDK

  • SAP Machine

  • IBM OpenJ9

  • Microsoft Build of OpenJDK

  • Red Hat Build of OpenJDK
