Oracle Unbreakable Linux vs Oracle Enterprise Linux vs Oracle Linux

I was really confused by all these product names... how are they different, and what is what?
It turns out that the reality is much simpler: the "Enterprise" qualifier is no longer used - just say "Oracle Linux" - although in the documentation the term "Oracle Enterprise Linux" is still widely used.
Also, the "Unbreakable" qualifier (honestly, a bit bumptious and uppish) is used only to refer to the KERNEL, and not to the OS itself...
Please refer to the following articles for more details:
