J2EE would imply Oracle. But there are no fees implied. Additionally, most of the Java libraries have a linking exception to prevent any GPL licensing from affecting other components. Granted, there could be fees if you're redistributing Java or embedding it on mobile hardware. It's all like this because that's how Sun did it for many years and Oracle can't/won't upset that momentum.
