Oracle wanted to get for free patches from RH, but in fact she
was stealing customers from RH:

And when RH closed the patches thingy for Oracle, she bought a company
that was selling a hot-patching technology (BTW this was supposed
to be a company committed to Solaris):

In a nutshell, Oracle wants free patches for its Linux, but
she does not want to share technology with others. Nice 
"licensing model"...
