Of course it does - my guess is that it was installed as part of the operating
system, meaning that you didn't take it upon yourself to delete it and replace
it with OpenJDK or something similar. Look, I'm not going to try to explain the
rest of the EULA to you because I'm not one of them lawyer fellas and I'll
probably screw it up. But "Apple software" is defined, various third-party
licenses are dealt with, and you agreed to it, including that part about Apple
reserving "all rights not expressly granted to you". Game over.
