And even if it were true then as other has pointed out there are
other free Java implementations.

Apache Harmony and GCJ are sort of dead.

But OpenJDK is very much alive.

You can pick from multiple flavors:
* standard OpenJDK
* Azul's OpenJDK build Zulu
* Eclipse J9 which is OpenJDK with another JVM (from IBM)

And the license GPL & GPL with classpath exception ensure
that it will stay open source.
