Re: OMS and Repository Preferences

Excellent.
Now we have yet another licensing doc with a slightly different 
wording.  I explicitly referenced the database 11gR2 license doc.

But this one does go the extra step, missing in the doc I referenced, to 
clarify the HA case.  Which clears up a huge piece of that puzzle - 
Thanks Pete.

(And I suspect the majority of DBAs will likely reference the DB License 
doc, not the OEM license doc.  Perhaps a link between the two docs ... 
but that is a challenge of a completely different scale.)
