Oracle's mixed messages on "compatibility" with Red Hat Enterprise Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| No offense, Oracle, but if it looks like a fork, smells like a fork, and acts 
| like a fork, it's a fork, and "fully compatible" is simply not a credible 
| guarantee. You can't change someone else's code and crown it "fully 
| compatible."

Is Unbreakable a long-term Linux play?

,----[ Quote ]
| After initial cynicism I have been forced to rethink my opinion on a couple 
| of occassions, notably Oracle's patent pledge, the naming of customers and 
| the naming of partners, although I remain unconvinced that OEL is a long-term 
| strategy for the company as opposed to an attempt to disrupt the market.   
| 
| Linux is clearly a long-term commitment. Oracle Enterprise Linux? Not sure.
