**NOTE:** Oracle JDK 17 licensing varies by patch level. As shown on the [JDK 17 Archive](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk17-archive-downloads.html) (versions up to 17.0.12 are under the [NFTC](https://www.oracle.com/downloads/licenses/no-fee-license.html) license) and the [JDK 17.0.13+ Archive](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk17-0-13-later-archive-downloads.html) (versions 17.0.13 and later are under the [OTN](https://www.oracle.com/downloads/licenses/javase-license1.html) license). To stay on the free NFTC license, use `distribution: 'oracle'` with `java-version: '17.0.12'` (or earlier) instead of the floating `'17'`. Alternatively, upgrade to Oracle JDK 21+, which remains under the NFTC license.
