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...
