Oracle weighing in on anything open source related is peak hypocrisy. Fuck Oracle. They’re not our friends.

Yeah seriously. It’s in their best interests to continue to ride on top of Redhat’s work. Do not believe for a second that if they were in Redhat’s position, they wouldn’t do the exact same thing.

As much as I dislike Oracle, they’ve been pretty good stewards of the Java open source project, and haven’t had any issues with anyone else rebadging the JDK, whether it be Zulu, BellSoft, Amazon, Microsoft, SAP, IBM, etc.

If anything, I’d like to see them put their money where their mouth is and hire Linux devs to continue Oracle Linux in an open manner.

Fuck oracle. They can do whatever you think it’s good about anything, but their licensing for commercial entities is horrendous and predatory.

So, once again, fuck oracle.
