But I am not an attorney, so read the terms yourself and consult legal advice as needed. On my first reading, it appears this new license makes production use free-of-cost (along with dev, test, and training usages), except for products sold for a fee while bundling the Oracle JDK product. No-Fee Terms and Conditions license, discussed on the Oracle

For Java 17, the Oracle JDK product is available under a new.

For versions 8 through 16, Oracle required a fee if their own Oracle JDK product was used in production, but not for dev, test, and training usages.

Oracle Java 8 unsupported but free version.

Official List of updates and release versions.

The Oracle JDK License has changed for releases starting April 16, 2019.

If I can change my development and I want still FREE, and I want to have improvements and security updates, I must use one of these java open implementations? If my development strictly needs or was developed with JDK 8, Can I only use Oracle Java SE 8 JDK 8u202 and earlier versions for FREE and commercial purposes accepting issues and security problems?

If I want to use Java 8 oracle version for commercials purposes and FREE, I need to use a previous version of Ap8u221 update.

Maybe a sales contact could be a solution if an update in these versions are required for Legacy Systems Support.

Legacy versions prior to 7, does not have and will not have any update.

Any other use, needs a Commercial License Since the Java 8 update at Ap8u221, all versions and updates for (Java 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13) has no cost just for personal use and development purposes.So after some researches I got these conclusions:

While I was in a dockerization project in my current job, I got this doubt: Which Java can I use?

Java 8 update 161
