"No one saw this coming. People talked about Oracle making its own Linux, or buying a Linux company (Ubuntu?). But, the news that Oracle is erasing Red Hat's trademarks from Unbreakable Linux and supporting it for less than Red Hat is a bolt from the blue. Or, perhaps, I should say that Oracle is firing a shot at the heart of Red Hat, and commercial Linux? This really, really ticks me off." Apparently, Oracle announced that they will provide full enterprise support for Linux and so it competes with RH.

They will buy it if it comes bundled with the database. Take a look at this example (the prices are made up):
Red Hat Linux License 3000.00
Oracle Database License 5000.00
Oracle Linux License (bundled) 1000.00
Oracle Database License 5000.00
They just saved 2000.00 by getting the bundled version and that is enough for most companies to forget about Red Hat.
