Is JDK that is downloaded from oracle through the following link is under GPL license?

https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk11-downloads-5066655.html

And if it is not GPL licensed, why the OpenJDK site is recommending that I download JDK from oracle and claiming that it is under GPL license

https://jdk.java.net/java-se-ri/11

These binaries are provided for use by implementers of the Java SE 11 Platform Specification and are for reference purposes only. This Reference Implementation has been approved through the Java Community Process. Production-ready binaries under the GPL are available from Oracle and will be in the most popular Linux distributions

I was looking for an updated OpenJDK 11 at https://jdk.java.net/ and https://openjdk.java.net/

But both links don’t provide clear download links for OpenJDK latest updates.

I found a lead here https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk-updates/ that led me to double-check that https://adoptopenjdk.net/ is the right place to download from.
