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.

While this article has been hilarious, I really wish it was more than just opportunistic talk from a corporation that likely only cares about this because it makes it harder for them to produce oracle linux. I mean, after all, Oracle believes that APIs are proprietary and hates interoperability.

At a glance, I thought it was an article from The Onion.
