Having a dedicated distro that will install and set up a dedicated server running Oracle sounds interesting, optimise the operating system to suit, however I don't understnad why they have to buy an existing product, they could simply say use an existing distribution and modyify it to work integrate with oracle better.
I'd assume they have only slight interest in the actual code, correctly viewing this as a commodity, but would wish to acquire a social machine (IE a company with distribution channel etc etc) capable of continuing to produce distribute and support it, as well as to say it was A Good Thing.
Starting essentially from scratch rarely appeals to rich successful companies, whereas it may be the only option as well as attractive to starveling newbies fuller of enthusiasm and energy than capital and customers.
