Oracle responds to Red Hat

This is hilarious considering one of the main reasons IBM is clamping down on RHEL is because they are literally taking RHEL, changed the stickers to “Oracle” and calls it a day to sell their own propietary shit. Of course they are against RedHat closing down RHEL, they need it to compile Oracle Linux.

I don’t like what RedHat is doing (or IBM, however you want to see it) but cheering for Oracle on this particular issue is just wrong

What I don’t understand is: who is using oracle linux? Never heard of a single person or company using it?

One must be really far from linux to choose oracle linux among hundreds of available distros

If you’re using a software suite that requires Oracle Database, it and RHEL are safe options. It’s used where I work for that reason, but only relating to said software, as they officially support those 2 distros, and to a lesser extent Windows.
