The Adoptium Working Group Reports Significant Momentum for Open Source Java in 2023

BRUSSELS, Belgium – MARCH 14, 2023 – The Eclipse Foundation, one of the world’s largest open source software foundations, in collaboration with the Adoptium Working Group, today announced significant momentum for the global open source Java ecosystem. This momentum comes in the wake of new licensing fee structures being introduced into the industry.

This is happening, I believe, because companies are approaching cybersecurity in the wrong way. Even though logic suggests that the more a company spends on cybersecurity systems the better protected it will be, there is no correlation between the two.
