> What is misleading about it?

At the very least, it's misleading propaganda because Oracle is doing to MySQL this very same thing which RedHat does to the kernel. So Oracle being self-righteous about it won't wash.

RH does it to annoy Oracle, and Oracle does it to annoy MariaDB.

I don't know that its fully analogous since Oracle is MySQL upstream and can fully deny/hide patches while Red Hat is not kernel upstream and pushes applicable patches upstream, so its not as if there's *no* information there.
