Re: What's good for the goose....
IIRC, Oracle reviewed what's free and what's not free in RHEL, and then replaced the non-free bits with their own implementation (eg. Redhat -> Oracle Linux logo)
And Redhat didn't write every single line of code, a lot of the Linux kernel code was written by Google, Intel, IBM, and including Redhat & Oracle!
The job of the Linux distribution is to make sure that version X of kernel works with version Y of gcc and version Z of glibc. It's a lot of work for sure, but it's not like everything was developed by Redhat, while Oracle and others are complete copycats.
