OEL 6.1 now has these 'release' files:
$ ll /etc/*release*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 32 May 22 20:15 /etc/oracle-release
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 55 May 22 20:15 /etc/redhat-release
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 Jul 22 16:36 /etc/system-release -> oracle-release
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 45 May 22 20:15 /etc/system-release-cpe
Contents (notice the disappearance of 'Enterprise', making it 'OL' now):
$ cat /etc/*release*
Oracle Linux Server release 6.1
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1 (Santiago)
Oracle Linux Server release 6.1
cpe:/o:oracle:oracle_linux:6server:ga:server
