Since it's often confused by various people, just to reiterate: All 
servers must be licensed, whether in r/w, r/o or recovery disconnect.

And, as clarification, standby is not DataGuard.  DataGuard is simply a 
technology that automates the process [work] flow of standby for Oracle 
databases: the extraction, shipping, receiving, application of logs and 
coordinated switchover/failover control.

Basically Oracle is saying you can not configure DG, although nothing - 
as far as I can tell - is stopping you from manually doing the same 
thing as Data Guard provides.

Rather than try to duplicate DG capabilities, just peek at DbVisit, an 
Oracle partner who provides a great & legal standby solution for 
Standard Edition at a very reasonable price. http://dbvisit.com
