If you use JRE, you have to pay license fee to Oracle unless you uninstall specific non-free components (e.g. Java Mission Control) after installing JRE.
JRE installs these non-free components by default.
How long before Oracle sues people for using VirtualBox also?
Yes but they only sue their partners and paying customers (who bough other stuff) so I don't care.

Install OpenJDK.

Joke's on them, I don't use any of their retarded over complicated shit.
Even google moved away from Oracle JDK and is using OpenJDK to build Android.

No.

No.
JRE and JDK are both free and will always be free. If you're going to link articles, read them first. From the article you linked: "Java SE comes with the free JDK and JRE, but Advanced Desktop, Advanced and Suite layer in additional capabilities such as Java Mission Control and Flight Recorder also known as JRockit Mission Control and JRockit Flight Recorder."
Kneejerk retards just want to cry daily about internet injustices from lameass megacorps. No one likes Oracle, this is known. Personally I hate misinformation more than that.

or, like, KVM or HyperV since they are included in the respective operating systems.

Aka companies with 80,000 PCs.
TL;DR "users" = large corporations who avoid paying fees
>Oracle sue companies who breach their licensing
Huh, wow its literally nothing.

Yes. But you have to enable them with the -XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures option.
LARRY DOES IT AGAIN

The problem is that Oracle packaged JRE in a way the users didn't know they were installing pay software.

>companies with 80,000 PCs randomly install software without checking licenses
Oracle is evil and all but this really is nothing. If you're not licensed to use their software it makes sense that they'd want you to stop using it. The regular Java stuff is both gratis and libre FOSS, its only the "advanced" stuff that is proprietary. You should be using OpenJDK for most things anyway
