A non-profit called the Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA) has been formed by Oracle, SUSE, CIQ, and other organizations that make Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and CentOS rebuilds.

So far they’re promising to “establish and make accessible the sources, tooling, and assets to all members, collaborators, and the open source Enterprise Linux distribution developers to create and maintain 1:1 downstream derivatives of EL.”

    Except Oracle didn’t create either of those, Sun Microsystems did. Oracle bought Sun, and then made both products worse.

      If you’re going to ignore the ‽… then at least get the facts straight: Sun didn’t develop MySQL (est. 1995), they bought it (2008) soon before getting acquired (2010) by Oracle, which is when the original author forked it into MariaDB.
