Thanks to *everyone* for responding! I can see that I was over
reacting yesterday. Time for me to stop worrying and get back to
coding.

Nothing's going to happen, for the simple reason that the cost to
Oracle's reputation would far outweigh anything they might gain from
charging for open-source products. The ultimate effect

I believe there is 0% chance that the JVM will be charged for. I don't

closed source. The JVM is a generic language spec that many people
have implemented. I dont see any changes to "JDBC". First it is not a
