'bully' Oracle enlarged its move again, and major enterprises deleted JDK overnight...

Let me just say something ：

To be honest, ever since Java By Oracle After the acquisition ,Java became Oracle A tool for profit , All major enterprises are the target of attack .

The most famous case is ,Oracle Sue Google for infringement Java The case of , In the end, though Oracle Lost the case , But there is still no stop Oracle In the footsteps of .

In recent years, he is still active on the road of litigation .

Have you noticed that , Recently registered official account , As long as the name contains Java Keywords , Brand authorization is needed .

in addition , According to foreign media The Register Reports and feedback from major enterprises , Oracle has recently begun to Java Included in its software license review .

The purpose is to identify customers who are on the edge of non-compliance or have violated the rules , Oracle's move is to promote companies to pay , This is also the usual operation to improve the payment rate .

Oracle bone inscriptions say Java SE Two licensing modes are introduced , stay 2019 year 4 month , Oracle began to offer free services to the former Java Charge a license fee , This requires users to provide services for business Java SE Product paid subscription , For patches and updates .

stay 2021 year 9 month , When Oracle is released Java 17 when , They started offering a free license model , The license will provide free quarterly updates for three years . However, this pattern is limited to the iteration of this version , Allow users to use it free of charge , Even commercial use （ Cannot be bundled with paid Products ）, Not applicable to Java 7、8 and 11 And so on .

Right in the market Java There are also many areas of cognitive confusion , One of the common misconceptions is , Use the old version of Java No license required . As a matter of fact , Whether you're using a new version or an old version , As long as you download patches and updates from Oracle's website , You need a corresponding support license .

The Register Express , According to their sources , Since the beginning of this year , Oracle began to the major companies Java The adoption situation opens the audit , At present, many companies have received license management services from Oracle （LMS） The letter of , Ask them to provide information about Java Information about usage and licensing .

Oracle will also get information from the database 、 Authorization of middleware or application , To deduce the declaration of various enterprises Java Whether the use is true . for example , The number of databases can reflect CPU Number ,Java SE One of the charging standards of the subscription price is each CPU Monthly charge 25 dollar , So it can reflect Java SE Whether the number of subscriptions meets the requirements .

At present, many enterprises have learned this information , To avoid big bills from Oracle , And potential penalties for years of non payment or non payment in full , Completely unloaded overnight JDK, Some of these enterprises have begun to use OpenJDK Open source alternatives to Oracle's audit , Others plan to completely replace the existing technology stack .

At the end
