Oracle Linux is completely open source and fully compatible—both source and binary—with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, a fact that is validated by the Edison Group and in certification with the Linux Standard Base (LSB). The Edison Group, an independent third party, includes laboratory test results in their published white paper that demonstrates this compatibility, and compliance with the LSB standard assures users that the cost of moving applications from Red Hat to the Oracle Linux distribution is minimal.
