Thanks Pete! I'm not sure if other people consider the OTN license for EM12c
an issue in their environment or not, I've just always found it better to be
safe than sorry where licensing is involved.
Because other products like Oracle XE 11g have their own dedicated OTN license
terms
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/database-11g-express-license-459621.html),
and the EM12c 12.1.0.3 download is under the default OTN license with phrases
like "use the programs only for the purpose of developing, testing, prototyping
and demonstrating your application, and not for any other purpose" and "If you
... want to use the programs for any purpose other than as permitted under this
agreement, you must obtain a production release version of the program by
contacting us", I feel like I have to take the click-through license at its
word and consider OTN downloads as suitable for a lab/sandbox/proof-of-concept
environment but not as an acceptable source for my production system.
I know I've seen other Oracle folks state that various downloads from edelivery
vs OTN are bit-for-bit identical. I'm probably being overly pedantic here and
making a distinction without a difference.
