well that would be nice if it was, but no - only Linux is free. For why things are free - read this great article:

You can download it for free for test purpose, but you will have no support/patches ...

There are no free things in life.

Even if Linux is open source and free to use, Oracle RDBMS and rest of the Orafcle products require valid license to be purchased, before used in production.

However, you can download it and develop software with it, but not for sale or any commercial use.

Hope that helps,
