I don't think that is Oracle's goal. I think that Oracle wants to acquire all those juicy support contracts referenced above, and that Oracle will get them. The rest of RedHat's support space, those that don't use Oracle, is relatively safe. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
