    “We didn’t buy Red Hat, and we’re mad that IBM did what we would’ve done” - Oracle

      I fully agree that what IBM did was basically openly and flagrantly violate the GPL. I just find it very ironic that Oracle, of all companies, has the cojones to call out Red Hat when Oracle is the champion of playing unfairly with open source. Oracle is one of the companies that wrote the definition of embrace, extend, and extinguish along with Microsoft and even IBM.

    Very strange seeing Oracle try and play the “good guy”, I am 100% sure if they could find a way to convince anyone other than there existing customers to run their distro they would be finding ways to extract extra cash out of the deal anyway they could.

    Both IBM and Oracle are on my “do no buy” vendor list due to horrible licensing practices and costs.

    Oracle is saying this? They are just throwing shade at RHEL, I’m not trusting oracle for shit.

    I mean…

    It takes a little steam out of it because it’s coming from Oracle, but at the end of the day they’re taking valid shots at IBM/RH.

    It’s chilling what IBM/RH did to CentOS. It casts a shadow on any open source project that Red Hat works on.

    What’s next? Ansible Stream?
