I didn't buy Oracle myself as I'm investigating the possibilities for a client wether Linux is a suitable Oracle platform or not. My client did of course pay for it, and as you put it it _should_ be Oracle's responsibility to support it on Linux, but they don't. If anyone has a good answer to why on earth they don't support it, please tell me. Maybe someone at Oracle has some answers? It's a trivial thing to make the SCO Oracle version run on Linux, so why not make a commercial distribution out of it? There must be more people like my client who would like to run Oracle on Linux if Oracle supported it (And yes, I know about the other RDBMS alternatives than Oracle).

If one has stolen an Oracle product, which is pretty much pointless without support and upgrades, he'd be one stupid *INSERT SUITABLE WORD HERE* posting on comp.databases.oracle about it, right? Jeez....
