Oracle started up the photocopier on rhel because Red Hat bought jBoss. Larry really wanted to punish Red Hat, and he did. Red Hat people are still hypersensitive on the subject, believe me.

  The only people who hate JBoss more than Ellison are the WebSphere sales team.

    Wow, I’ve never thought of the people that have to go to work every day and try to convince people to use Websphere. What a soul crushing job that must be..

      It's almost as soul-crushing to have to support a Websphere deployment. I've been trying to get our DevOps team to migrate off of RHEL 5 for 6 years, but they have to do upgrades to Websphere first, as well as the 3rd party modules that aren't supported under RHEL 7 (wth). Sometimes I think of becoming a lumberjack.
