Comment on UK unis sign up to £10M Oracle Java subscription framework

Skipping past the usual deserved ‘fuck Oracle’, what reason do universities (or most organisations for that matter) have to ever use Oracle’s Java? The likes of OpenJDK seem to provide identical functionality for anyone who isn’t specifically supporting Oracle Java customers, and I doubt unis are raising many JDK bugs that warrant paying for support.
