OpenJDK has been the default in Ubuntu for a little while now. I don't think most distributions used the main Oracle Java in their distro by default either. OpenJDK is still available, and included, it is just the oracle version that has been removed.
OpenJDK is backed by other companies than just Oracle, and is licensed for distros. At least, this is my understanding of the landscape.
