    Oracle: Hey RedHat, there’s only enough space for one open-source-crippling company, and it’s already occupied by us!

    Oracle has been part of the Linux community for 25 years. Our goal has remained the same over all those years: help make Linux the best server operating system for everyone, freely available to all, with high-quality, low-cost support provided to those who need it.

    Sure, Jan.

    Oracle is this priest who will try to convert you to christianity when you are in a hospital on your deathbed.

    Fuck you

    We want to emphasize to Linux developers, Linux customers, and Linux distributors that Oracle is committed to Linux freedom. Oracle makes the following promise: as long as Oracle distributes Linux, Oracle will make the binaries and source code for that distribution publicly and freely available. Furthermore, Oracle welcomes downstream distributions of every kind, community and commercial. We are happy to work with distributors to ease that process, work together on the content of Oracle Linux, and ensure Oracle software products are certified on your distribution.

    Oracle is one of the biggest personal data broker out there. Fuck you

    By the way, if you are a Linux developer who disagrees with IBM’s actions and you believe in Linux freedom the way we do, we are hiring.

    The russian army is hiring too.

    Finally, to IBM, here’s a big idea for you. You say that you don’t want to pay all those RHEL developers? Here’s how you can save money: just pull from us. Become a downstream distributor of Oracle Linux. We will happily take on the burden.

    Devour each others please. Thank you and fuck you.

    Thankfully, even with IBM playing tricks like that, there’s enough linux distros around these days that killing them all feels unlikely.

    Though, that said, it’s certainly not a trend I want to see continue either. It does feel conflicting to be cheering on oracle though…
