You think if Oracle's legal team is after your company you get a free get out of license violation card?
Haha, I’m not playing that game because I’m lawsuit averse but I’m not surprised people are successful at it. This JDK includes telemetry so it just got a lot more dangerous to play but otherwise I’d guess license violations are pervasive at small shops.
even at big ones.

> http://jdk.java.net/11 That's an "OpenJDK" build provided by Oracle. But it is easy to get mixed up since it doesn't ACTUALLY say "OpenJDK" on that page.
All the links say and point to OpenJDK if you hover over them. It doesn't seem that obscure.
One would expect that the page provided by Oracle from which one could download OpenJDK would have the word "OpenJDK" in a header in 16+ point font-- and not visible only in link hover text box.
It's just weird.

But you still need jre/jdk to serve HDFS ;) Also, there are tons of other missing products like ElasticSearch, Kafka, Spark...
Sure, but fight the battles you can win. The database I use wasn't written in C. That doesn't mean I have to write applications in C.
