Windows 10 PRO -- JAVA software, free replacement ?

https://ninite.com/oracle_java and https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/oracle-jdk-faqs.html show JAVA on business PCs is NO longer free as of 10 months ago, therefore I plan to switch to a different package since I really don't have any APPS that need Java, but still would like to have installed if needed.

Has anyone switched to Amazon Corretto and AdoptOpenJDK ?

Any other suggestions ?

It's not that "Java is no longer free to business users", it's that "Java 8 is no longer free to business users".  Java's latest version is currently 13.

This is incorrect

Java's new license restrictions took effect April 16, 2019 and covers any and all versions after Version 9
Business use is only acceptable with a Java SE subscription

Exceptions to the new license includes personal, education and development

Business use of OpenJDK is acceptable
