With free clustering for Unbreakable Linux, Oracle goes after Red Hat (SearchEnterpriseLinux)With free clustering for Unbreakable Linux, Oracle goes after Red Hat (SearchEnterpriseLinux)Posted Mar 27, 2008 22:29 UTC (Thu) by lmb (subscriber, #39048)In reply to: With free clustering for Unbreakable Linux, Oracle goes after Red Hat (SearchEnterpriseLinux) by marduk Parent article: With free clustering for Unbreakable Linux, Oracle goes after Red Hat (SearchEnterpriseLinux)

Proprietary? Where? I don't know much about Novell's offerings, but all of Redhat's stuff is open source that I know about... Look: https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/browse/rh-cs-en... That's their offering. I didn't look through all the spec files for those packages, but I looked through a half a dozen or so (magma, ccsd, GFS, etc) and they were all licensed GPL. On top of that GFS is available from Debian also.. kernel modules and everything from 'Main' Testing/Unstable. Oh and BTW. The article is a bit misleading (or press release or whatever) http://www.redhat.com/cluster_suite/ > Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Advanced Platform > With the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Advanced Platform, Red Hat Cluster Suite and Global File System are now included in the subscription offering. > Red Hat Cluster Suite and Global File System are still available as layered offerings for Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 3 and 4. Oracle is just matching upstream, that's all...
With free clustering for Unbreakable Linux, Oracle goes after Red Hat (SearchEnterpriseLinux) Posted Mar 29, 2008 0:50 UTC (Sat) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link] Oh.. I read your statement wrong. I thought were meaning 'clusterware from Redhat/Suse' was proprietary, not 'Clusterware(tm) from Oracle' compared to Suse/Redhat like you meant it. Sorry for the misunderstanding. My fault.
