Oracle, one of the computer world's most loathed businesses, published an open letter on its blog espousing how much it loves Linux and that its Oracle Linux distro will remain compatible with RHEL for as long as possible despite Red Hat/IBM's decision to remove public source code. Without any sense of irony, Oracle suggests that "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" and telling IBM "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". Oracle are gigantic pricks, but you know you fucked up when these guys are taking pot shots at you from an ethical high ground.
