Would you trust Oracle to be the leader of the free and open source software world, I certainly wouldn't but they think they're trustworthy and it's absolute...
RedHat are key contributors to a stack of open source projects aside from the kernel itself. For example they are one of the lead contributors to QEMU, far ahead of Oracle.
They were always IBM’s front for open/free code and the undermine of linux. Grew economically more than any Op.Fr. project because of IBM’s consulting and training subcontracts passed under the table. Eventually they were absorbed by their mothership.
Linux supports loads of filesystems. ext4 works well for most people and is considerably easier to use without jumping hoops for Oracle’s deliberately misaligned license for ZFS.
Everyone knows that, and everyone knows that BTRFS was released under GPL to restore the balance (as well as have the FS maintained and developed for free).
My point was, Oracle has contributed as well as RH. They offered to make RHEL instead of RH, RH do repacks. IBM is just greedy and we have seen where these sorts of things lead, to a dead company.

RedHat were key contributors
And now they’re barely pedestrians.

I know, but let’s face it, QEMU is not something you absolutely need to run an OS, like an FS for example.
