Log4j doesn’t supply an RPM of LOG4J. I’m not even sure how one could do that. What is the actual RPM and who provided it?

Is there a reason why Java 17 doesn't satisfy the Java 11 dependency? Any way I can get log4j to install running Java 17? I am running an environment that requires Java 17 so I am unable to use a different version, and I prefer not to run multiple versions of Java on this system if possible.
