</div>If you do this, your platform will not be certified by Oracle. You can<br>
try and submit a new certification but them accepting it, in my<br>
guess, would be an unlikely result. CentOS is not certified nor<br>
supported by Oracle either.<br>
<br>
In the end there is nothing stopping you to do what you have described<br>
but I question the value. I presume the servers you have will be used<br>
for production, not development. Especially with the Oracle licencing<br>
costs for ~20 servers, you better have supported platforms. Using<br>
CentOS+Oracle for development environments will mean your servers will<br>
not be supported by Oracle but at least you will have the support of<br>
the CentOS community for the OS. I wonder how much quicker you would<br>
be than the CentOS guys respond to updated packages and for how long<br>
you would be able to keep up with the service (which in both aspects<br>
the CentOS guys are excellent).<br>
<br>
The only Linux distributions supported by Oracle for Oracle database<br>
are RHEL, OEL, SUSE SLES and finally Asianux. None of the other RHEL<br>
derivatives are supported, neither Ubuntu (server or desktop variants,<br>
TLS or non-TLS) nor openSUSE. (See Metalink ID 1304727.1).<br>
<br>
By the way, the removing of logos etc. are to comply with trademark<br>
rules, not GPL.<br></blockquote><div><br><br>I suppose you mean that I have to provide the full source code in order to be GPL compatible? Sure, not a problem.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
