NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 21, 2018, Oracle Corporation announced that all commercial users of Java will need to license the formerly free product as of January 2019. Details on pricing, support timelines, and release versions can be found here https://miroconsulting.com/blog/java-updates-will-require-a-commercial-license-for-businesses-after-january-2019/.

Impact
Virtually all commercial organizations have devices that use Java, including servers, desktops, laptops and mobile devices. Java is also used by many other types of internet connected devices.
Legal Requirements
Even if the commercial organization has never been an Oracle customer, it's still legally required to license all devices that use Java by January 2019, or switch each one to Java alternatives. Non-compliance costs are measured per device and can range into the millions of dollars.
Security
Oracle will stop sending security patches to unlicensed commercial users of the Oracle JDK starting in January 2019. Unpatched Java installations at all device levels will create severe security concerns and vulnerabilities for organizations that miss the deadline.
Java Assessment Services
Miro's Java Licensing Assessment Services has helped its clients create a plan on their future use and potential licensing of Java, as well as negotiate terms and pricing with Oracle to achieve the best possible outcome. With so many organizations being required to license their Java environment before the January 2019 deadline, Miro's capacity to take on new clients is filling up rapidly.
