From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me it sounds like more like a PR move. It sounds like they just want people to adopt Oracle Linux because now it's the good thing and when they'll have the chance they'll do the same thing. Not necessarily exactly what Red Hat (and IBM) did but something that won't benefit the community but them. But maybe this is just my superstition or something and it won't come to this. I hope it won't come to this but I doubt it
