   @chjara@akko.wtf @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me The ones distributed by Oracle have an obnoxious non-free license now. But I don't know why anyone uses them instead of the actually-free ones (Temurin for example).

     @emmy @chjara IcedTea and OpenJDK are also still things.

     @emmy @chjara Nope, IcedTea was created for fsf-compatible java.

     @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @chjara@akko.wtf OpenJDK downloads page says "These binaries are for reference use only!" So they're clearly not for production use. I don't know about IcedTea though. Wasn't that used to run Java-in-browser?
     
     By actually-free ones, I'm including Temurin, Semeru, Zulu, Liberica, Corretto, and maybe others I forgot about.

     @emmy @chjara Or more like a branding of an OpenJDK distribution.

     @emmy @lanodan @chjara the actually-free ones were missing functionality. I don't remember what it was, but possibly things in the HotSpot VM that apps specifically depended on
