Oracle chairs JCP and "runs" (supply people for) OpenJDK project. Oracle Java and OpenJDK supposedly share 99.99% of code. But license wise Oracle Java and OpenJDK are very different.

OpenJDK is an open source product available under GPL license (GPL with classpath exception for the library part). Arne
