The story (read: this is internet gossip) goes that HP/HPE Java
was based on Oracle Java under a commercial license agreement
and that license agreement ran out, because HPE did not want
to pay for Java on a platform they have no interest in any
longer. And VSI preferred to take OpenJDK (same code base!)
under open source license (at no cost) instead of paying Oracle.
