"Instead, Oracle has long maintained that its Linux distribution, Oracle Enterprise Linux, includes changes simply to enable the company to better provide support to customers. It also said its changes get contributed to the upstream Linux community, and that its distribution is binary-compatible with RHEL, which means that software certified to run on Red Hat's OS will run similarly on Oracle Enterprise Linux."
