It's dual licensed, GPL or commercial, identical functionality, you choose the one that works for you. Blog author is confused.

Interesting, tricky, tricky.

The key part of the terms is as follows:

You may not: use the Programs for any data processing or any commercial, production, or internal business purposes other than developing, testing, prototyping, and demonstrating your Application;

The trap is as follows:

Download Oracle JDK (because that is what you've always done, and it is what the web-search tells you)

Use it in production (because you didn't realise the license changed)

Get a nasty phone call from Oracle's license enforcement teams demanding lots of money
