CentOS 7 openjdk

Post by linJ » 2021/12/12 12:10:42

Hi, I tried to search but I can't to find any relevant information on this so please forgive me if it has been asked before.

I am confused with all the license and openjdk that has been going on. Like what is the jdk or jre that centOS 7 uses? is it follows redhat rhel? Does it mean I can use it for production and commercial use? Does it follow the following support stated at https://access.redhat.com/articles/1299013 ?

Can I/recommended to install a openJDK of my own like adoptopenjdk?

I am really confuse about all the changes and licensing, would appreciate for any help or explanation! Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, restrictions only apply to the Oracle JDK not to OpenJDK which, as its name suggests, is open.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
