Yes, but I think the headstone comment is relating to all the products killed by Google, often referred to as the Google Graveyard, a term that’s been around since at least 2013. Nothing to do with Google being evil or not.
Yeah, except Oracle products already phone home to alert them to start nagging you about a voluntary audit. I once downloaded an old version of JRE to try to configure an old switch and Oracle hasn't stopped hassling me about it since.
I think it's more difficult when certain very old web interfaces using Java used to be so strict on the version. There would be warnings like "You need Java 1.4 build 232, not Java 1.5" etc. I don't think the openjdk builds go back far enough for those (looks like Java 8 from a quick glance).
Half the Google one should be represented by a headstone.
They’ve been killing good products for well over a decade
Oof, that alt-text really hurts to read though.

Well, if you don't install any of them yourself, you have no reason to let Oracle in.
Definitely passing this one along to a few DBAs.
