As of this moment, Oracle is announcing full support for Red Hat Linux," Ellison. "If you are a Red Hat support customer, you can very easily switch from Red Hat support to Oracle support."
"Oracle will sell support to any Red Hat Linux customer, not just customers of Oracle products", Ellison said.
Oracle, like the CentOS project, wants to clone Red Hat's Linux based on the source code produced by the company, not create a new Linux variant. And Ellison promised that software certified for Red Hat's Linux will still work.
Ellison argued that customers of the Unbreakable Linux 2.0 service will enjoy lower costs, better bug fixes and legal protections compared with Red Hat.
"We will backport your bug-fixes" to earlier Linux versions, he said. "We will indemnify you from intellectual property problems. And our support costs way less than half of what Red Hat charges," Ellison said.
unlike Red Hat, Oracle will let anyone download the software for free.
