Oracle: We're Not Forking Red Hat Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Yet, as it turns out, Oracle Enterprise Linus's binary compatibility does not
| mean that its version is entirely identical to Red Hat's. In fact, there are
| some important differences, including support for a key file system
| technology.

Old headline was: Is Oracle Forking Red Hat Linux?
Video: The seeds of open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Sometimes open source ideals make for the strangest–and most wonderful–
| bedfellows. We met Dr. Vandana Shiva–physicist, scientist, environmentalist,
| and activist–several years ago. Her work saving seeds and protecting
| traditional knowledge in the farming industry parallels the openness,
| transparency, collaboration and freedom of open source ideology. Her simple,
| clear explanation of why knowledge should be shared–and the devastating
| results should it be hoarded–is part of the essential truth that makes the
| work we do so incredibly important. But don’t take our word for it.

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.
