> RedHat and Oracle both provide value-add services. THAT is what you pay for. > But that flies in the face-value (rather than the hidden agenda) of their statements... Oracle wouldn't *lie* to you would they?! /s If someone wanted the 'value-added services of Oracle' they wouldn't be using CentOS but rather paying customers already.... and if they needed those services this 'free service to the community' Oracle is offering would not be of help... since they'd need to pay anyway and thus it would not be free...
