Oracle does a have a point though, they did release ZFS and BTRFS as open source projects. Granted, RH has done the same with other software packages, but not something as important as a FS. ZFS was a finished product, BTRFS not so much, but still, these 2 are greatly valued in the open source community.
Not siding with Oracle, I don’t like them one bit, but facts are facts 🤷.
RedHat are key contributors to a stack of open source projects aside from the kernel itself. For example they are one of the lead contributors to QEMU, far ahead of Oracle.
Linux supports loads of filesystems. ext4 works well for most people and is considerably easier to use without jumping hoops for Oracle’s deliberately misaligned license for ZFS.
Oracle’s implementation of ZFS is Proprietary software. The original version was developed with an open source model By Sun microsystems, which was bought by oracle.
And Oracle contributing to the Linux Kernel with BTRFS isn’t that ground breaking

I know, but let’s face it, QEMU is not something you absolutely need to run an OS, like an FS for example.
