I hate being a pest, but I can't figure this out. If this is a stupid/repeated question, I sincerely apologize.

If what I'm looking for is not possible, why is it not possible? Is it due to Oracle's licensing decisions? Does the update I'm looking for the count as a paid support patch? If so, I thought Oracle didn't release those updates to OpenJDK?.If getting what I'm looking for is impossible, where does Adoptium get what they provide? Do they just build their builds from the source?.Does the version available at Adoptium have any differences to Oracle OpenJDK 11.0.11+9 from Oracle?.


So on the Reference Implementations page, I read, "Production-ready binaries under the GPL are available from Oracle and will be in most popular Linux distributions." I click on the only entry for JDK 11 I see, which is under " Reference Implementations." I download that file, and the ZIP has the name "OpenJDK-11+28_windows-圆4_bin.zip" which sounds like an older version of JDK 11. On I see the "Ready for Use" section has JDK 16, which I don't want.I started at this Oracle page, which contains the OTN-licensed JDK, and saw the advertisement for OpenJDK: "End users and developers looking for free JDK versions: Oracle OpenJDK offers the same features and performance as Oracle JDK under the GPL license.During my process of attempting to get OpenJDK 11.0.11+9, I have come with various additional questions I'd like answered. I was able to easily get the OpenJDK 16.0.1 ZIP from but not OpenJDK 11.0.11+9. I want the Oracle version "straight from the horse's mouth," so to speak, to avoid any discrepancies between the documentation I was quickly able to download from Oracle and the JDK I have installed. The snag is that I want the 11.0.11+9 Windows ZIP version, which this Oracle page and Eclipse Adoptium / AdoptOpenJDK page both list as the most recent version, without going to Adoption. I'd like to get the GPL2-CPE licensed version of the JavaJDK, which I will call "OpenJDK", as I prefer that license to Oracle's restrictive OTN license.
