Oracle's new Java SE subs: Code and support for $25/server/month
Found on The Register on Saturday, 23 June 2018
Big Red’s called this a Java SE Subscription and pitched it as “a commonly used model, popular with Linux distributions”.
Peter Jansen of Oracle licensing consultancy Navicle told The Register Oracle has made an exception for general purpose use of Java, but that the definition of such use means almost nobody other than code tinkerers will be able to get Java for free.
It took Oracle quite some time to finally put a pricetag onto Java; and as before with other projects (remember why OpenOffice turned into LibreOffice), this will be the end for Java in the long run.
