I don't understand this complaint anymore. Hotspot and OpenJDK are all GPL, licensing and Oracle aren't worries at this point

It's GPL with the 'classpath exception' so that you're even exempt from the GPL the you link. Seems pretty good licensing? Do you prefer even more permissive than that?

This is no longer a real reason. It's licensed as GPL with a "classpath exception." That's pretty permissive and this article[0] does a pretty good job of explaining some questions you may have.
