Title: Nearly 3 Out of 4 Oracle Java Users Say They've Been Audited in the
Past 3 Years

A survey of 500 IT asset managers in organizations that use Oracle Java has
found that 73% have been audited in the last three years. From a report: At

migrated, or planned to shift, to open source Java to try to avoid the risk

January 2023, it decided to switch its pricing model to per employee rather

survey conducted by market research firm Dimensional Research showed only 14%
of Oracle Java users intended to stick with the vendor's subscription model.
