Hinweis zu Oracle Java
Oracle hat die Lizenzbestimmungen für Oracle Java geändert: Die Nutzung von Oracle Java SE (JDK und JRE) ist seit dem Update Release 211 für Java 8 auch für Hochschulen kostenpflichtig. Die Installation dieses Updates führt laut den dabei zu akzeptierenden Lizenzbedingungen automatisch in die Kostenpflicht. Auch alle höheren Versionen (Java SE 11 und Folgende) sind an Hochschulen nicht mehr kostenfrei nutzbar.
