Strange incorporation

niksajurJun 28 2014 — edited Jun 29 2014

According to

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/7Server/en/os/README

the current sources for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 have been moved to the git.centos.org project. The RHEL 7 SRPMS can be obtained in the Red Hat Customer Portal that is reserved only for paid customers and requires authentication.

I've got a feeling this strange incorporation probably has more to do with Oracle than anything else, i.e. the real target is Oracle, not CentOS, as they already have Fedora as a Red Hat sponsored upstream project with leading-edge open source technologies. I dont's see any additional value in incorporating CentOS. Is this going to have any consequence to Oracle Linux future development?
