What's so evil about using the GPL for exactly what it was intended for?

And perhaps the reason Oracle lacks similar popularity with Google, is because Oracle is soul-crushing. Although some people might say the same about Google these days.

RedHat does wonderful things for linux and open source, what Oracle is doing to RHEL is like bullying.

Who'd want to work for such a company? Seriously.

I don't care if Oracle's so called distro does any damage to RedHat or not, it's the fact that Oracle is pulling dirty moves like this; that's what makes me perceive the company as evil.
