You might not know that Java was created by Sun in 1991 and released as a free product with the promise of “Write once and run anywhere”. This resulted in Java being deployed on a multitude of devices like Servers, desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. Oracle purchased Sun in 2010 and then made Java fee based (any commercial use became fee-based) in Jan 2019. And any subsequent release of Java or any new patches to the old Java versions are now actually fee based.
