Oracle's statement was disgracefully noncommittal. Shame on them
for failing to condemn SCO, and for failing to join IBM and Red Hat
in filing suit against SCO.

Oracle doesn't ship Linux and hasn't been the target of a SCO suit. While they do contribute to the kernel (and could therefore sue SCO for copyright infringement), they aren't in a position to make any claims that haven't already been made by Red Hat. Since Red Hat is one of their partners, I wouldn't be surprised if they provided some funding to the Red Hat suit through that agreement, but there's no reason to start another suit, unless there is eventually a class action by kernel developers which they should join.
