Just to clarify so there are no mistaken impressions. Oracle are, in the form of Larry Ellison, a bunch of leeches that are profiting off the blood and sweat of others. They are doing everything they can to, quite literally, steal the customer base of Redhat. And while some among us may think this is fine, just a form of capitalism, it isn't: the company they are trying to steal customers from is THE SAME COMPANY THEY ARE GETTING THE SOURCES FROM FOR THEIR OWN DISTRIBUTION. Sorry to shout, but it seems that a few of you want to brush this under the rug. If you want to spin it as just business as usual you are free to do so; but you're deluding yourself and basically full of it. And please stop referencing Novell, SuSE or anyone else. This isn't about them. This is solely about what a reprehensible company Ellison put together and their shady and downright shitty business practices.
