"For clarity, those portions of a Program included in otherwise unmodified software that is produced as output resulting from running the unmodified Program (such as may be produced by use of GraalVM Native Image) shall be deemed to be an unmodified Program for the purposes of this license."

Other than that, it appears the same. The thing I'm wondering about is how this matches with everyone saying it's "free to use" when the following is in both versions of the license (underscore _emphasis_ mine):

"(b) redistribute the unmodified Program and Program Documentation, under the terms of this License, provided that __You do not charge Your licensees any fees associated with such distribution or use of the Program__, including, without limitation, fees for products that include or are bundled with a copy of the Program or for services that involve the use of the distributed Program."

This to me reads as if:

- You cannot charge for licensing fees on graalvm built distributed pieces of software (licensing for a desktop application, cli program, game, etc)

- You cannot charge for licensing fees on services that involve the use of graalvm built software (SaaS software that uses the graalvm built binary in a k8s container, lambad, etc as part of the service topology)

My gut reaction (since this is Oracle) is that this was an ambiguity oversight in the language that is now being corrected to lock down this "free" usage of the premium version, but I may be overly pessimistic.

Is anyone using this in prod based on it being "free" and has any info from their legal team or otherwise?

Mostly looking to be corrected in my likely misinterpretation.
