This is nice for Oracle to say. That being said, Oracle are not "The Good Guys™" and never have been. They might be legitimately honest about Oracle Linux and their commitment to being open and free, but they're horrible about so many other things, and always have been.

Brought to you by the company who went to court to stop people from using their own open source code.

Curious take by Oracle after its very recent campaign trying to push out their Java competitors by saying Java 21 is not going to be LTS so you can't trust it. Well, maybe not your Java 21, Mister Oracle. Talk for yourself. Not very FOSS-like attitude.

I remember getting Facebook ads for RedHat (for whatever reason) and they said something about how RedHat loves open source. So many people in the comments were asking if that was true why did they kill CentOS?
