How is the average gamer comparable to a professional athlete?

I believe the article is mistaken. Their License says:

>"Program(s)" refers to Oracle software provided by Oracle pursuant to this Agreement and any updates, error corrections, and/or Program Documentation provided by Oracle.

Not programs you create using the JDK

"Further, You may not:

- use the Programs for any data processing or any commercial, production, or internal business purposes other than developing, testing, prototyping, and demonstrating your Application;"

To me this reads as, "you can use javac.exe and java.exe in development, but you can't use java.exe in production."

This is a huge change that I probably would not have noticed.

I thought that too: this just affects companies running JVMs, not companies that ship Java software, right?

Well, if you ship Java software, it has to run on a JVM. You often ship the JVM you want with the software, or else help the customer get the JVM installed. If you install or help them install Oracle's JVM, you may still have a problem.

So, when one reads unclear language from the part of Oracle, one does not interpret it in the most antagonistic way possible?

Has Oracle been restructured recently, or are you expecting me to ignore the entire company's history?
