So it boils down to will they be good neighbors in the community???
Well, if their behavior is anything like that in the "proprietary"
world. We know what kind of street cred they have.
Actually, Oracle is "giving back". They've open sourced a cluster
filesystem that is currently in the process of rolling into the
standard kernel (it may already be in, haven't checked in a while).
Oracle has a bunch of smart employees who will do the right thing
whether Larry likes it or not.
