Maybe because FreeBSD doesn't require a support agreement for security
patches. Nor does any of those Linux distributions you mentioned. Or for
that matter Windows.
This "you will no longer receive security updates" bit is what's
bothering people. And it sends out all the "right" (for someone)
messages: "You're either a $1M/year contract corporate customer, or
you're of no interest to us". If that's the message Oracle wants to get
across, they're doing things the correct way. If not, they _NEED_ to
wake up and doe something that does _NOT_ stink of that arrogant attitude.
