Which Oracle Licenses Do Include The Right To Make Use Of Java?

Most end-users do not realize that, in case they obtain an Oracle license, they actually obtain the right to make use of a bundle or suite of products and/or components instead of one specific software program.

Almost any Oracle license grants an end-user the right to deploy and make use of a number of different technical functionalities/ features/ components/ products which are included in the obtained software license. These functionalities/ features/ components/products may or may not come with either “Full Use“or “Restricted Use” rights.

The below section provides an overview of the different Oracle licenses that do have the (Full Use or Restricted Use) rights granted to make use of one or more Java software programs:
