Java licensing for Oracle SQL Developer, not required
Lots of FUD out there, here's an official note from the Java team that specifically calls out SQL Developer for not requiring a license for using Oracle Java.

We don't - that's on you.
Also, you would have to go out of your way to setup the java we ship in SQL Developer's app to be your JAVA_HOME. Doing that, and using it to run other apps would be a CLEAR violation of the terms.
