The database image (and I imagine the other technologies as well) link
through to the OTN developer license

IANAL but I would suggest that means that your developers can only use that
in the same way as they would a download from OTN, which is to say for most
internal uses not at all. See also the wording on Oracle's github page

Anyone have any further details about Oracle's announcement about the
availability of docker images for the rdbms as well as multiple other
tools? In particular I have questions around licensing. They're touting
that this is great for developers to build quickly on their workstation,
but if things are still licensed per core, licensing all cores it will
possibly run on, it's of much less utility.
I do think it's fantastic that Oracle is trying to get up to date with
modern deployment practices, getting us freed from the archaic install
process. Any progress is great in my eyes. I'm just looking at it very
skeptically before I start talking about it more with our devs. Is this
just a PR spin, trying to get everyone excited about Oracle cloud?
In case you hadn't seen the announcement: https://www.
oracle.com/corporate/pressrelease/docker-oracle-041917.html
... and the official docker image repo: https://github.com/
oracle/docker-images
Thank you,
