That would indeed be a first in Oracle licensing!  sqlplus is essential 
to start and shutdown and manage the db, even if OEM is being used.  I 
suspect there is something else weird going on there.  Perhaps the 
Oracle licensing was provided as an embedded part of a third party 
application from the supplier?  If so, then indeed the licensing will be 
very  restricted.  As in: nothing but the kernel code will be licensed.

Yeah, if it is an embedded license you'll need a third party tool for 
just about everything.  Very weird, I didn't know Oracle was still doing 
that sort of thing.  Was all the rage back in the 80s but people wised 
up after that.
