It is recommendations like this, trying to skirt Oracle licensing that will
cause a license audit for a company and makes it harder for companies who make
simple mistakes versus willful mistakes to deal with Oracle LMS.
You really should read the Oracle licensing document for software downloads
from OTN/Oracle.com and read the oracle licensing documents relative to
customers who own licenses versus simply being the single developer in the wild
downloading software to learn or do development on while not owning any
licenses.
Your activities as an individual in a company and using any company equipment
for these activities puts the company at risk and makes life worse for us in
the Oracle Community.

How true that is.
It is often very difficult to work out what we have got and who controls the
licenses.
The best site as regards license management (and many other things) I worked
at had a very simple rule – if a server was not listed on a central spreadsheet
which was managed by Purchasing then you could not install any Oracle software
on there.
It did not matter how much anybody shouted or how important the project was –
that was the rule.

Where I have seen it fall down is that management doesn't always involve and/or
communicate what is licensed effectively to staff.

Another good trick to remember is that you have the right to use database 30
days for free, as a trial license. Consequently, if you keep re-creating your
development database every 30 days, using some form of "duplicate database",
you don't have to pay for the license. That is where SAN snapshot technology
pays off.
