Did SUSE coordinate this announcement With Oracle? Because they also announced similar thing yesterday https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/blog/keep-linux-ope...

Oracle talking about "open and free". Didn't think I would live to see that happening...

Remember when MS changed from being heavily against Linux to "Microsoft loves open source"?

Whatever benefits their bottom line.

Oracle today is what Microsoft was 15 years ago. It would be shocking to see Oracle resemble what Microsoft is today to open source, but I'm not holding my breath for it.

Is it me or there was a certain passive-agressivenes on that Oracle article?

Sheesh, that's not passive ...

"Finally, to IBM, here’s a big idea for you. You say that you don’t want to pay all those RHEL developers? Here’s how you can save money: just pull from us. Become a downstream distributor of Oracle Linux. We will happily take on the burden."
