@feoh issues with Oracle corporate aside, I was howling at the gigantic slap at the end:
"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."
And, say this for Oracle: they've been excellent stewards of MySQL (against my personal expectations). Credit where credit's due.
