Sounds like Oracle got them with the good 'ol “buy an even bigger license or we’ll sue you”

I guess is people were using the oracle VM without license and were caught. Oracle makes it very easy to not notice that the Java distribution you download requires payment.

Yes that’s it, they offer it for download. People click " I agree" and install. Then it phones home and oracle knocks on your door with huge license fee and or lawsuit.
