Understandably so, given that some Java runtimes (most notably, Oracle's) require a paid license for commercial use. Having users installing that can get the company in hot water.

Until 2021, now some do require a paid license for commercial use and some Java versions from Oracle can be used for free for commercial use.
Or do what the rest of the world does, use Eclipse Adoptium (the best JDK in my opinion) or the one from OpenJDK, Microsoft, etc.
You and the parent raising the specter of Oracle's Java licensing isn't applicable any more. It isn't 2009.
