Just How Much Indemnification Does Oracle Linux Give You?

Oracle outlines the details of its indemnification program (warning: link to PDF document).

A couple of items of interest here. First, open source blogger Matt Asay made some interested points under the headng Just what is Oracle indemnifying, anyway after he read Oracle's license and then read the description of their indemnification program (see above).

Worth reading. My favorite line was the last one of Oracle's statement, "NOTE: NO CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS ARE FORMED EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY THIS DOCUMENT." All capitals, all italicized.

I'm certainly not a lawyer, so don't ask me what it means--ask your lawyer if you are considering Oracle's deal.
