My understanding is that this has a lot more to do with Oracle representing Red Hat's work as their own to their customers.

Well, it seems like that could be dealt with through an information campaign...

Oracle can outspend Red Hat very easily in advertising. Going head-to-head against them like that would be insane.

Besides that, Oracle has also made a lot of important contributions to Linux that Red Hat also benefits from (BtrFS is my favorite).

We don't need an arms race here...
