ORACLE JAVA POLICE START KNOCKING ON FORTUNE 200'S DOORS FOR FIRST TIME
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Oracle has dispatched Java audit letters to Fortune 200 companies for the first time. The company announced a new licensing regime in January 2023 that was two to five times more expensive for businesses with limited Java use. Companies should be wary, evaluate their positions, and only pay for Java where necessary. Signing up for a long-term agreement may hold customers hostage to fortune when it comes to renewal.
