Parent article: Oracle's Red Hat rip-off (Linux-Watch)

My first reaction was that this won't hurt Red Hat a bit, because anybody familiar with Oracle's support for Oracle products would laugh at buying support for a third party product from them.
But in many cases companies buy RHEL subscriptions simply because their customers demand a certified platform for the Oracle databases rather than for the support options. In that case a cheaper Oracle Linux may be more attractive.
Just toss away the Oracle support phone number for the protection of your mental health.
