Oracle is rolling out a new subscription-based update model for commercial use of Java (see https://www.infoworld.com/article/3284164/java/oracle-now-requires-a-subscription-to-use-java-se.html<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.infoworld.com%2Farticle%2F3284164%2Fjava%2Foracle-now-requires-a-subscription-to-use-java-se.html&data=02%7C01%7C%7C797867fa6c5341b7492808d69b3d517b%7Cd47b090e3f5a4ca084d09f89d269f175%7C0%7C0%7C636867084998216654&sdata=lHjrMZ7C1EvXRDC0h%2BczrPCgXqKJHxNfZCMpzLUmDUc%3D&reserved=0> for an overview). OpenRefine is a critical application for Data and Library Carpentries, and I am concerned that Oracle’s new license model is going to discourage use on any computer that might be called “commercial.” I haven’t encountered any discussion of this topic on the list to date. Does anyone have any insight?
