Where can I get a vanilla tar.gz binary build download of openjdk7 for linux, similar to the oracle/sun vanilla jdk download?

The biggest difference between OpenJDK and Oracle JDK is licensing. OpenJDK is completely open source Java with a GNU General Public License. Oracle JDK requires a commercial license under Oracle Binary Code License Agreement. But there are many other differences within support and cost, too.
There are some licensing implications when using Oracle's platform. Public updates for Oracle Java SE 8 released after January 2019 won't be available for business, commercial, or production use without a commercial license, as Oracle announced. However, OpenJDK is completely open source and can be used freely.
JDK 11 is the open-source reference implementation of version 11 of the Java SE Platform as specified by by JSR 384 in the Java Community Process.
Unfortunately, such files do not exist. You can follow these instructions to install OpenJDK for Linux distributions that use DEB and RPM packages.
You could extract the files from the DEB (using dpkg-deb or ar) or RPM (using rpm2cpio [1] [2] [3]) packages and create your own tarball.
Or, if you're up for the challenge, you can compile your own build using the build instructions. The nice thing about building your own is that you can create a debug build (Google does not return much information on debug builds, but you can look at the Makefile for some information), which avails useful debugging options.

You may find OpenJDK7 binaries for Linux (built on Debian Squeeze) in openjdk-unofficial-builds github project. *-image.zip files contain plain archives of JDK without installers.
Disclaimer: I've built them myself
Edit: typo about macos
