Sun JRE to become pay-for under Oracle (reddit.com)

I'll believe it when I see it on java.sun.com.

That sounds too silly to be true. Especially with OpenJDK and other implementation around. But one can never tell how businesses work :)

If true, it will be a huge boost to Apache Harmony: http://harmony.apache.org/

If this is true then Oracle is about to kill "Oracle Java". Let's see how the open source alternatives keep going after that. Will IBM take over, or Google?

I do not think Oracle will do this. No way!
