Oracle, SUSE and others caught up in RHEL drama hit back with OpenELA
theregister.com
A non-profit called the Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA) has been formed by Oracle, SUSE, CIQ, and other organizations that make Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and CentOS rebuilds.
So far they're promising to "establish and make accessible the sources, tooling, and assets to all members, collaborators, and the open source Enterprise Linux distribution developers to create and maintain 1:1 downstream derivatives of EL."

Oracle.... good?
bizarro world
Its a circle. Then theyll get complacent and then theyll become the bad corpo and IBM will be the good corpo. its the circle of PR.
Nah. Oracle is trying to pivot from "people noticed we hate humans" into "Like Microsoft, we embrace open source now". I'm glad to see it, but also very skeptical that it represents a long term change.
Edit: Oracle's stance on basic accessibility seemed really bad, to me, for a long time. I don't actually think they hate humans...probably.
