Disconnected? No. Oracle pays for 95+% of all OpenJDK commits. Their OracleJDK is pretty much just an OpenJDK with a few logos added — they have over time made every proprietary feature open-source and available in OpenJDK.

But as I expanded a bit more here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35249701 ), Java is probably the safest bet from a code longevity perspective.

I didn’t know that, interesting!
Not only that, oracle’s jdk is actually a distribution of openjdk.
Oracle is the main contributor in both lines of code and financial backing to OpenJdk.
