Can RedHat openjdk binaries for windows can be used in production without support contract?

Question

As I can see redhat is releasing the openjdk binaries for windows also https://developers.redhat.com/products/openjdk/overview/ . However it says: "Download OpenJDK for Development Use" Does this mean it cant be used in production without support contract ?

Note: The reason I am asking is as we have been using RHEL 6 in our production boxes with openjdk binaries , so wants to keep the same binaries on windows boxes also as we are also deploying our services on Windows machines in production. Currently both have Oracle jdk but we are planning to migrate openjdk now.

Answer 1

I think have got the required information and happy to found RedHat giving openjdk binaries under same license as AdoptOpenJDK which means it can be used in production.

Red Hat provides OpenJDK 8 Windows binaries under exactly the same license as AdoptOpenJDK and any other open-source OpenJDK 8 build - under the GNU GPL v. 2 with classpath exception. Source : http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/file/866ed739fa56/LICENSE Got this from : Technical difference between AdoptOpenJDK and Red Hat OpenJDK for Windows Please correct me if I misunderstood from above.

Answer 2

I have to correct myself, as got it clarified from RedHat that their openjdk distribution is not for production use without support contract or unless its part of RedHat Middleware product. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3116731
