I know this subject has been beaten to death pretty well already, but I
just recalled a good resource that I don't think has been mentioned yet
in this discussion - the Oracle Software Investment Guide, which can be
found here:
http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/sig.html
This document provides a more easily understandable description of many
of the licensing issues that there is so much uncertainty about. For
example, on the topic of development it says this:
"Development - Set up, customization, and modification of software is
done in a
development environment. Any person doing development work using the
software must be licensed. Oracle software may be downloaded for limited
development work via the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). Software
downloaded from the OTN Website is governed by a special agreement
called the
OTN Development License. This agreement grants the individual the right
to use
the programs only in a development environment; licenses obtained under
this
agreement may not be used in test, production, fail-over, or any other
environments. Additionally, customers who want to use any applications
developed under an OTN license for internal data processing, commercial
or
production purposes must secure a Full Use Oracle license for any of the
development software licensed under the OTN agreement prior to using the
applications for such purposes.
Customers wanting a less restrictive license for development work may
obtain Full
Use licenses under a standard Oracle License and Services Agreement
(OLSA) from
the Oracle Store (http://www.oracle.com/store) or through their Oracle
Sales
Representative."
