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

It would be corporate clients that are already all on Oracle for their careers. I've met guys that have built their entire career on Oracle and if you suggest any other software they'll try to politically assassinate you. Some people just care about money not the work they do.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
