Java licensing is troublesome. I'm trying to figure out what is exempt.
Post Body

I'm looking at https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk-faqs.html

I am a customer of an Oracle Product that uses Java. Is Oracle Java free for me?

If you are a customer who has a current support entitlement to any Oracle Product that includes Java, you continue to have free access to any Oracle Java SE updates for use with that Oracle Product. See this My Oracle Support (MOS) document (requires Oracle Support login) for more information.

If I license Oracle DB does that cover Java it uses? How about the rest of the Oracle products I license? The "see this MOS doc" is not nice. I just want a list of all Oracle software that covers the java it uses.

When it comes to desktops instead of servers is there a quick and easy way to see which of your tens of thousands of desktops should be paying a Java license? I'm not sure I'd get an approval to email everyone then rip it out of all desktops and let the devs go grab what they need after that. I don't even know how much development happens on desktops and how much happens on dev servers.

I really miss the old days when Google worked. I used to be able to google these things. Larry not even knowing if Java is free doesn't bode well for me on this.
