Once these vendors wake up and figure out what the LSB is, they can make their applications run on any version of Linux that is LSB compliant.
The LSB standards create everything needed for an application to be able to run.
And most all major distros are LSB compliant.
An application written to the LSB standards is guarenteed to run on any LSB complaint distro.
The problem is some vendors such as Oracle, are more interested in the "exclusive" co-marketing agreements right now instead of taking the time to make their application be LSB compliant.
Regardless, don't blame the Linux community...it has already solved this problem, its the individual software vendors that dont seem to want to play well with others.
