Do you understand the commercial changes made to Oracle Java?
Oracle changed the way Java SE subscriptions are licensed. This will significantly impact your use of Java and its pricing.
The introduction of Oracle Java Universal subscriptions has changed the metric by which Java is priced, impacting future Java subscription purchases.
