OLE does not exist. Perhaps you meant OEL, but then again the product changed. There are plenty of technical reasons to use Oracle Linux (OL) instead of RHEL or CentOS, etc. in particular if you plan to install Oracle database or use Oracle cluster or ASM. There are Oracle specific software products and kernel drivers that are only available using the Oracle UEK kernel. Whether or not RHEL would become free too has no impact. Oracle is not a thread to Linux, actually less than Red Hat Enterprise Linux since it is free and you don't have to pay to receive updates. Personally I lost interest in RHEL when it turned into a commercial product about 10 years ago. You can't even download or register to try RHEL unless you have a corporate email account.
