Hi.
Please read:
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=1557737.1
Some examples from it are:
- Customer is using WebLogic Server. Customer is entitled to download
and use Java SE updates and patches to run WebLogic Server. This
example is applicable for any server-side Oracle product based on
Java, which includes most Oracle middleware and applications products.
- Customer is using Oracle Forms or an Oracle Forms based product,
such as Oracle E-Business Suite. Customer is entitled to download and
use Java SE updates and patches to run the product on the server. In
addition, when the product, like E-Business Suite, uses client-side
Java applications (browser-based or standalone), the customer is
entitled to download and install Java SE updates and patches on the
desktop PCs used to run E-- - Business Suite client applications.
Incidental use of the same Java-enabled browser to access non-Oracle
Java web-based applications is permitted but not supported.
- Customer has built a custom client application based on Coherence
libraries, which is used to access a licensed Coherence back end.
Customer is entitled to download and use Java SE updates and patches
to run the Coherent client application.
- Customer has built a custom client application that uses HTTP to
talk to WebLogic Server. The customer is NOT entitled to download and
install Java SE updates and patches on the client, since the client
application is not using a product-specific protocol.
- Customer has built a client application that uses JDBC drivers to
connect to a licensed instance of an Oracle database. The customer is
NOT entitled to download and install Java SE updates and patches on
the client, because JDBC drivers do not use a product-specific
protocol.
What it boils down to is, if you have a supported Oracle product that
requires Java, you get Oracle Java for free. The emphasis seems to be
on supported, not licensed. So if you are using SQL Developer, SQLcl
or ORDS, even though you don't pay, you are still entitled to the JDK.
People should probably keep checking back to that MOS note over the
coming weeks in case the wording happens to change... ;)
Cheers
Tim...

To my knowledge, Oracle RDBMS includes Java. No separate license needed.

How about OJVM inside the database?
Is that covered by a normal db license or do we need to separately
license it?
