Wow. There's a big change in the JDK 11 terms of use.

    License Rights and Restrictions
    ...
    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;

That clause is absent from the JDK 8 terms of use.

(Edit: fixed formatting)

Yeah, the Oracle JDK builds are only for licensed customers in production from now on. The OpenJDK derivatives are now the preferred way to run a JVM in production without a license from Oracle.
