I'm personally not a great fan of Oracle, but there is a difference
here.  Unlike Oracle, you can't download AIX from the 'net and run it
on your computer.  Nor is there an `AIX for Linux' :)

The only way to get AIX is by paying IBM, while Oracle for Linux is
available under a no-obligation-no-support sort of license from Oracle
Corp.  Under those circumstances maybe helping people install Oracle
is OK.

Of course, PostgreSQL beats the rest hollow, but that's another story
altogether :)
