In this segment, Scott Sellers, Co-Founder and CEO, Azul, delves into Oracle’s 2023 pricing changes for Oracle Java and their impact on enterprises. Sellers explains the shift from usage-based pricing to a model based on the number of employees, which includes contractors and agents, leading to dramatic cost increases—ranging from 2x to 12x or more for some companies.

Sellers critiques the perceived lack of fairness in the new model and highlights OpenJDK alternatives as a viable solution for enterprises seeking to manage costs and maintain flexibility.
