"I'm seeing more and more projects and products move to OpenJDK just because they they don't want to have their balls gripped by Oracle and are worried that it's going to cost them a licence to use it. Docker is a case in point - I can pull an OpenJDK image but if I want Java 8 from Oracle I have to "checkout" and agree to all my details being supplied"

Oracle's very poor and egregious conduct in this matter is no doubt doing wonders for the take up of OpenJDK and Kotlin so Oracle's actions are ultimately self defeating in the long term. That said, I still really want to see them lose this case.
