Talk to Oracle about embedded software licenses, they have a team that only
sells “App Specific or Embedded Licenses” to attach to your application. I
have seen these type of licenses sell for 5% of list price. This also depends
on the volume you anticipate to sell.

If you are a software developer looking to embed an RDBMS into your product
you'll likely want to talk to them about an "Application Specific Full Use"
license. It'll allow you to sell your app with an oracle backend. If the db
won't be larger than 4gb and will run on a single cpu then Oracle Express will
likely do.

Freek,
Just wanted to know whether Standard Edition One is an enterprise or SMB
software. Secondly, I want a license for 1 Windows server and 10 nodes. How
would the below mentioned product fit into it?
