Forgot to mention I'm bringing this up because of two points.
1. While the older versions Java will still be available, they are no longer
will receive security updates. This causes future security risks and support
for the older versions should be retired.
2. New versions of Java after January will require a license annually. So I
was wondering if we move to the OpenJDK officially for the SDK instead of only
requiring the paid licensing app?

Subject: Java newer licensing
Our organization is in the process of figuring out how many licenses are
needed for our clients and servers. This conversation however spilled over to
our development environments as well. How is oracles new licensing [1][2] for
Oracle Java SE / Oracle JDK going to affect us here for how we compile? Is it
worth mentioning OpenJDK [3] since it is also maintained by Oracle folks and
has a close parity of features to Oracles JDK?
