Hah, just got a follow on Twitter from a company in the licensing consulting
space. Coincidence? Perhaps but suspect this channel is being “watched” 😊
I recall the guidelines here also. I knew of a customer who kept the oracle
home tar gzd (nothing installed). Backups shipped over the wire slowly to DR DC
once per week. Archive logs shipped every 20 minutes. All rsync. Worked very
well. Was simple and reliable. We would test the system twice a year and DB
would only be running for a couple hours. Per the customer’s understanding this
was all 100% legit and within bounds.

I'm fairly certain that document has been around way before 2014 in one way or
another. Perhaps some other list members still have one of the previous
versions. I believe 2014 is just the last time this was updated. But I do
recall having dealt with these same guidelines earlier than that.
And according to the guide it depends on how many days per year the standby was
opened.
But just to clarify once more - YMMV (a lot) depending on whatever is
negotiated between you and the Oracle sales folks.
