Oracle Java JDK 8r211 Updates License
This morning I got an update notice on Java 8 on my machine - it was for JDK 8r211, and during the normal update process, the installer popped up a dialog box where it was very clear that the terms of the license for JDK 8r211 have changed.
Specifically, it stated that this JDK was only for non-commercial use, and if it was going to be used in a commercial environment, then a license would have to be obtained from Oracle.
This is the JDK 11 license, and why I went through the pain to get OpenJDK 11 on my laptop, because I just can't see even pretending to use a product that I know I won't ever use in production. Now, I have to stick with the version of JDK 8 I've got installed, because I don't see an easy path to get OpenJDK 8 from Homebrew. There's an old cask, but I don't know that it's any more current than what I have - and I don't know that I need anything more current.
Just seems so short-sighted by Oracle, but they see a revenue stream, and go after it.
