A bit off-topic, but I could easily see this could be relevant to Sage at some
point. In fact, you can argue it was over the GMP/MPIR issues.
I've been looking for a free linux distribution which is compatible with Redhat.
Centros is one, but so is Oracle too, though of course Oracle charge for suppport.
What I found interesting is that Oracle are providing indemnification against
intellectual property infringement claims by other companies if you have an
Oracle support contract.

So if you use Oracle Linux, which is based on Redhat, and anyone tries to sue
you for intellectual property infringement, Oracle will take on the case.
Oracle are a lot bigger company than most, so have the resources to do this.
Oracle are a lot bigger than Redhat.
