Shots fired by Oracle. I trust them about as much as I have a chance of sailing with Larry Ellison (also, ever notice how he looks like a Bond villain?), but I could see their arguments swaying at least a few folks who are looking for a corporate-backed enterprise distro that has the resources and incentive to keep up. Maybe at some point some of their SRPMs even end up assisting Rocky or Alma.

It’s a sad day when Oracle in word and deed is being more friendly to the community than Red Hat (“We do not have subscription agreements that interfere with a subscriber’s rights to redistribute Oracle Linux”).

The trend of one shitty corporation attempting some PR bullshit and market-taking after the previous shitty corporation makes a really idiotic move doesn't stop with Meta going for Twitter's throat, doesn't it?

Oracle trying to spin up some moral high ground over RedHat is hysterically bad. They'd do better staying quiet.
