Hi Olaf, before comment anything, I must say that I didn't read the new license, but IICRC the changes was for new Java 11 version
Anyway, Royale is using Java 8, and our code can be compiled with either, Oracle Java, or OpenJDK. So, that means for me, that if Oracle could make some change in license that could be a problem, people could always go with any Open JDK out there. Maybe not an answer based on the license terms that you could expect, but maybe we don't have to worry by any Oracle changes. I thing they do that in order to target big enterprises and customers that could generate some profit for them paying some maintenance or support service.
