Oracle Urges Red Hat To Give Away Its Product
Oracle (NSDQ: ORCL)’s chief Linux technologist, Wim Coekaerts, said Oracle is making an important contribution to Linux reliability by extensively testing the Oracle database system on the open source operating system. And he has some free advice for competitor Red Hat (NYSE: RHT).
Oracle reports all bugs it finds and bug fixes that it makes to Red Hat’s Bugzilla database. The Red Hat Bugzilla listing is public and Oracle believes putting its findings in Red Hat’s Bugzilla “puts pressure on the company” to fix bugs in its Enterprise distribution that affect database and enterprise operations.
