It makes it too expensive for most customers.

According to Gartner estimates, database outfit Oracle is making its Java licences two to five times more expensive.

Speaking to clients since the new model was introduced in January, the global technology analyst said the steep increase in Oracle licensing costs at most Java users would mean that by 2026, more than 80 per cent of Java applications will be deployed on third-party Java runtimes, up from 65 per cent in 2023.

Gartner has warned that Oracle is ready to test whether users comply with Java licensing terms as it sees them. Gartner said that one in five Java users can expect an Oracle audit in the next three years.
