Why do we have two versions of Java ?

The jdk from Oracle and the one from OpenJDK.
And why is it that OpenJDK is available only for Linux ?
And on Wikipedia,I find that Java is open source .But ,I find a copyright information inside the Oracles JDK saying everything restricted ???

Open JDK is trying to reinvent the wheel by giving you freedom of choice (you can use cool OpenJDK JVM or the mainstream Oracle one)
If something is that cool OBVIOUSLY it's only for linux
that question is out of SO scope, besides I'm not sure myself...
