Finally, to IBM, here’s a big idea for you. You say that you don’t want to pay all those RHEL developers? Here’s how you can save money: just pull from us. Become a downstream distributor of Oracle Linux. We will happily take on the burden.

Oh, don't worry. They played for both sides and helped America as well.

And by "helped America", I mean helped facilitate the internment of over a hundred thousand civilians of Japanese descent.

But still, they helped in the war effort, I suppose. Who they helped just depends on your perspective at any given time.
