Thanks everybody.  I’ll just wait and observe what Oracle does with Java 
starting January 2019.

... which is the only problematic item to me: this is not a bona-fide
open source license because of this clause:
"The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil."

This is something both difficult to enforce and comply with and has
been widely debated in the past when it was introduced.

SInce nobody believes that they themselves are in the service of Evil,
I say it's unenforceable and meaningless, mere flatus vocis.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but it's not
exactly the unauthorized practice of law either.
