Oracle's Java Pricing Changes Spark Mass Exodus

Oracle's January 2023 shift in Java SE licensing from per-user/processor to per-employee pricing has triggered a massive backlash, with costs skyrocketing. Dimensional Research reveals that 88% of Oracle Java users are considering switching to open-source alternatives, reaching 92% in France and 95% in Germany. This reflects a growing need for cost-effective Java solutions, forcing organizations to reassess their long-term Java licensing and support strategies.
