OpenJDK is open source. Are you intentionally spreading FUD or someone else has been FUDding you?
Just because some oracle download page links to java downloads does not imply that the license on the earlier page applies. For example, if you follow the link to java downloads on your first link, you get to this page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html - where you can't find that license you mentioned anywhere. Or, just download any Oracle-supplied JVM and you'll find no such license anywhere there either. Your second link is for the OTN. You do not need to be a member of OTN to use / develop for java.
