I've used these.
They are not "official" though.

Subject: Oracle Licensing on VMware
Hello
We are running a few Oracle (11.2) databases on VMware. We have of course
licensed all CPUs in the underlying physical machine.
But where can I find official licensing rules regarding Oracle Database on
VMware and other virtualization environments?
The Licensing Information manual does not mention virtualized environments at
all. Beyond that I have only found a paper named "Oracle Partitioning Policy"
that more or less explains that you have to license the full host in case of
"soft partitioning" like VMware.
Nothing about VMware clustering, vMotion, DRS (Dynamic Resource Scheduling) and
so on.
I could, of course, ask my Oracle representative, but I prefer to read the
official wording (if it exists) in solitude before that.
Regards Niels Jespersen
