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.
