From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yet they consistently say that other contributions to Linux are very welcome and help RHEL, CentOS stream and everyone else. I think you have a strong case of selective memory and reading comprehension that only sees what fits into your pre-determined world-view 😜
Yes. What they say and their actions are entirely contradictory in my own warped view.
But good thing am not the only one who seems to think so 🤪 as clearly Oracle and SUSE agree with this view.
If one thing has always been true, it is that Oracle will always chose the wrong side of history no matter what.
Be careful who your allies are 😬
I don't really care that much for Oracle's role in Linux but IBM's Red Hat is clearly the drunk guy here.
