Oracle’s Java Licensing Changes and Impacts:

Bob Lindquist hosts David Woodard, Executive License Consultant and an original founder of House of Brick Technologies. In this podcast, the conversation centers on Oracle’s Java licensing and how it impacts options for customers to deploy Java:

  • What was Oracle’s original intent on use of Java, when acquired with Sun Microsystems?
  • Are there common customer use cases for Java and how is Java deployed by customers?
  • Was there a specific change to Oracle’s Java licensing approach back in 2019?
  • How is Oracle treating customers regarding Java use & licensing – are there Java audits?
  • Are there tools to easily discover deployment of Java to identify desktop or server usage?
  • Why is it important to do a Java assessment prior to Oracle asking about Java usage?
  • Does Oracle make any assertions around usage of Java on VMware installations?
  • What versions do I need to worry about paying for or not?
