Oracle's licensing change makes Java more expensive, how to tame this cost?

Java continues to be the dominant language in the enterprise software arena, with hundreds of thousands of different open source projects based on the Java platform in general. However, Oracle has made significant changes to its Java licensing and policies over the last few years; the most recent one being announced in January 2023 where the Java SE Subscription has been replaced with the Java SE Universal Subscription. Now even if only a single employee uses the licensed version of Java, a company has to pay a license fee for the entire workforce. What does that mean? How have these pricing/licensing changes impacted user organizations? Are there options and alternatives for Java users? If yes, what are those? Let’s deep dive into these topics with Scott Sellers, Co-founder and CEO, Azul.
