Most users of either one will likely not contribute anything at all back besides simply being part of the "network effects". I'm not a fan of Oracle either, but your rhetoric is in the red zone...
you're right i'm angry. i'm sorry if it offends you. but still, i don't see what you're argument is. are you saying that because i am angry and "rhetorical" it's ok to switch to oracle?
is noticing that i am angry somehow going to make everything
work out? when centos folds and oracle decide to "raise margins" me being angry will make centos come back?
because if not, i would suggest worrying a little less about my emotional state and a little more about the future of your operating system.
I don't use CentOS actually, I'm fairly happy with Ubuntu, and if I didn't use that, I'd go back to Debian.
For many years I was a Debian package maintainer, and Debian got by ok without much corporate support, despite the existence of Redhat.
In other words, your thinking is way too zero-sum. I think there's room for both. Perhaps the competition will make Redhat think about their model some too, improving things for everyone.
