Interesting.

According to the notes there, this is based on Java SE and not OpenJDK.

How will future releases of Java for VMS be affected by the Oracle
licence changes, where commercial users using Java SE in production
now have to pay for versions of Java SE (but not OpenJDK) released
since 16-Apr-2019 ?

The new Java SE licence conditions are here:

Will VSI be moving to OpenJDK for new releases of Java on VMS ?
