Oracle's Infrastructure Now Fully Linux-ized

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the more-linux-than-considered-decent dept.

mbadolato writes "An article over at InformationWeek reports Oracle is aggressively adopting Linux both internally and for its products, despite SCO Group's threats earlier this week that it may sue those who don't pay licensing fees to the company. Chuck Rozwat, an Oracle executive VP, says the company has moved its IT infrastructure to Linux, a year after CEO Larry Ellis issued the mandate. In the coming year, Oracle will move its base development platform to Linux, including putting the open-source operating system on the workstations of 8,000 developers"

    Another big corporation that gives lip service to open source but continues to sell their own closed software for big bucks. Ask them to open up Oracle for Linux and you'll find out exactly how they really feel about open source.
