Oracle charging for Java Upgrades: Java license question

[Jonathan Smith]

To Atlassian Team members:

  With Oracle now charging for Java upgrades, do we as consumers need to worry about this or does our Confluence/JIRA license cover the installed Java?

I assume since this is bundled into the installer and we pay for a Confluence/JIRA license, we should be covered.

About Confluence states:

This product also includes the following libraries which are covered by the GNU LGPL license:

• Java Persistence API - Version 2.1 (org.hibernate.javax.persistence:hibernate-jpa-2.1-api:1.0.0.Final:jar)

Thanks,

Jonathan

Both Jira & Confluence will support OpenJDK or compatible releases with the upcoming versions.

Thanks for the info about the upcoming OpenJDK. 

From the consumer side, I still want to know if I need to worry about these Oracle costs or if my Confluence/JIRA license includes the bundled Oracle versions.
