http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/editions.htm#CJAHFHBJ For 10g-11gR2, according to the DB licensing guide: A restricted-use license for Oracle HTTP Server is with all editions (except for Oracle Database Express Edition) when the HTTP Server is running on the same server as the database. Running Oracle HTTP server on a different server requires that other server be licensed to use the HTTP server, either through an Oracle Database license or an Oracle Application Server license. So as long as the server you want to run the HTTP server on is licensed for the DB, you were okay as of 11gR2. I can't see how a policy could retroactively nullify that restricted use license. Also, it isn't clear what restricted means. Oracle HTTP is just Apache 2.x, so anything that runs on Oracle HTTP would run on Apache. Was the 3rd party app an APEX or mod_plsql app, or were the using some other aspect of the HTTP server (PHP, mod_perl, etc..) If it was anything other than mod_plsql, I'd be surprised to see a third party attaching themselves to Oracle's HTTP Server since it really is just Apache.

The vendor for the product says what we need is included no charge in EE. My Oracle rep says that effective 4/1/10 it isn't however, I'm not confident he really knows what he's talking about since he's given me incorrect information before. Does anyone know where I can go on Oracle's web site to verify? -- Sandy Transzap, Inc.
