does that mean that companys must pay for using java in future?
 
If you’re not paying for commercial use, then Oracle wants you to use OpenJDK. Oracle’s JDK can only be used for testing, initial development purposes if one is not willing to pay the commercial use license. Or one can just use OpenJDK.
