OpenJDK is the open-source version of the Java product that Oracle purchased along with Sun. It is not a knock-off. Sun went to a lot of effort to be able to release the code, and Oracle remains a major contributor to it. You'll even see Oracle's logo displayed in the sidebar of the OpenJDK FAQ. Moreover, OpenJDK passes Oracle's TCK tests, else Oracle would not permit it to be marked with the "Java" brand. It runs a great many production boxes. Nevertheless, if the client insists on obtaining a binary package obtained direct from Oracle, then follow Michael's link to relevant information.
