what are we supposed to do?
obviously, i'm not the least bit concerned with running aware (for any reason) on my personal PC, but
what about Upcloud / AWS servers?
a) Is that only 1 server license for the entire Upcloud box? Why wouldn't Upcloud pay the license and distribute that cost? They may already be running a Java mgmt tool on the server?
b) Is it 1 license PER virtual host on the Upcloud box?
c) Is it 1 license PER IP/BSV? (I have 5 BSV for 5 totally diff. companies. Pay for 1 license or 5)
d) What about a guy who builds a PC and has it internally in a rack for his whole company? isn't that just like #a above? 1 license?
Reading the license (multiple times) isn't very clear for me.
Is it PER USER license/per month -OR- server license, but not BOTH?
From https://www.oracle.com/java/technologie ... -faqs.html
"What if Oracle JDK is included with the application I licensed from my application vendor?
Thanks to its reputation for high quality, compatibility, reliability and a predictable release schedule known well in advance, Oracle JDK is the favorite runtime of the vast majority of Java developers. Accordingly, many third-party software vendors beside Oracle develop, test and certify their software for Oracle JDK and recommend its use to run their applications. Your application vendor may have an ISV agreement with Oracle to provide you with Java updates to run the application vendor’s product. If this is the case, you will not need a separate license from Oracle for Java running on the application. Please contact your application vendor to determine whether your application vendor is authorized to distribute Java to you with their application."
is this still going to happen?

So currently you are not at risk. At some point in the future we will probably have to buy Oracle's distribution license when Aware IM officially ships with the latest version of Java.
