@PureFallen @nss Thank you for the heads-up.
I’ve just carefully reviewed the OTN license, and technically speaking, the maintainer may be in violation of certain clauses, specifically: 'You may not: assign this Agreement or distribute, give, or transfer the Programs ... to any third party' and 'You may not: make the Programs ... available in any manner to any third party.'
The existence of a login wall essentially demonstrates that logging into an Oracle account is a mandatory prerequisite for accepting the agreement. Consequently, I am doubtful that simply bundling the license text with the package is legally sufficient to constitute user acceptance.
So I am looking for a better way to direct users to the official website to obtain the files themselves, while trying to streamline that process as much as possible.
(P.S. As of writing this comment, I have not received any emails or letters from Oracle. I am on vacation, so updates may be delayed.)

Starting from version 17.0.13, Oracle has moved Oracle GraalVM for JDK 17 to the OTN, placing it behind a login wall.
To technically bypass this restriction, the download source has been pointed to an Archive.org mirror.
(p.s. Don't trust me blindly. You are encouraged to verify the checksums in the PKGBUILD with the values on the official site.)
Note: By downloading or installing this package, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to the Oracle Technology Network License Agreement.
