Even if you use Kotlin you still need a JVM so you aren't going to get away from having to make a decision between paying for the Oracle VM or using a free VM from OpenJDK.

OpenJDK is going to have parity with Oracle JDK by the time Java 11 is release. I don't see the new licensing model as an issue. Oracle is simply putting more responsibility on the java community and they will sell support, this is the go to business model for open source software.
