Not true. Oracle VM and VMWare are both "soft partitioning", and require
licensing of full physical server.

Examples of such [soft] partitioning type include: and Solaris 9 Resource
Containers, AIX Workload Manager, HP Process Resource Manager, Affinity
Management, Oracle VM, VMware etc. This is not a comprehensive list of all the
different types of technologies or resource allocation devices/programs that
would fall into the category of Soft Partitioning.
