Oracle underscores its commitment to helping keep Linux open and free for the global Linux community.
Thanks, Satan
It’s Saitine, actually.
That horrible feeling when the person you loathe says something completely correct!
Oracle: Hey RedHat, there’s only enough space for one open-source-crippling company, and it’s already occupied by us!
Oracle, the hero we deserve, but not the one we need.
honestly could never have seen myself on the same team as oracle until I read this lmao
less “on the same team”, more “interests temporarily aligned”
@PupBiru The enemy of my enemy is sometimes just the relatively smaller asshole
But they couldn’t keep Solaris open and free. What a bunch of hypocrites.
When Oracle of all companies calls you out… you might be the baddie.
Oracle is this priest who will try to convert you to christianity when you are in a hospital on your deathbed.
Oracle has been part of the Linux community for 25 years. Our goal has remained the same over all those years: help make Linux the best server operating system for everyone, freely available to all, with high-quality, low-cost support provided to those who need it.
Fuck you
We want to emphasize to Linux developers, Linux customers, and Linux distributors that Oracle is committed to Linux freedom. Oracle makes the following promise: as long as Oracle distributes Linux, Oracle will make the binaries and source code for that distribution publicly and freely available. Furthermore, Oracle welcomes downstream distributions of every kind, community and commercial. We are happy to work with distributors to ease that process, work together on the content of Oracle Linux, and ensure Oracle software products are certified on your distribution.
Oracle is one of the biggest personal data broker out there. Fuck you
By the way, if you are a Linux developer who disagrees with IBM’s actions and you believe in Linux freedom the way we do, we are hiring.
The russian army is hiring too.
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.
Devour each others please. Thank you and fuck you.
do you have a source on Oracle being one of the biggest personal data brokers?

edit: to whomever is interested in privacy, the downvote is from a troll, mass downvoter called @DarkThoughts. The link is good and the source as well.

Sure, Jan.
good guy Oracle
visible confusion
Oracle poking fun at RedHat and IBM?!? First Microsoft and now Oracle. What is going on???
International Business Machines is on the ropes!
Too bad that sub didn’t have a seat for Larry.
Being on the receiving end makes you pretend to be humble.
Edit: okay, nothing humble about that.
Thankfully, even with IBM playing tricks like that, there’s enough linux distros around these days that killing them all feels unlikely.
Though, that said, it’s certainly not a trend I want to see continue either. It does feel conflicting to be cheering on oracle though…
“By the way, if you are a Linux developer who disagrees with IBM’s actions and you believe in Linux freedom the way we do, we are hiring.” brought a smile to my face :D
“trust us we will never try to fuck you”
