Definitely! Oracle Support is a *very* unreliable source for licensing answers. (In fact, they may have been among those who told me this feature *does* require separate licenses.) Usually, they refrain from commenting on the subject. I suspect the answer is buried in the Oracle 10g Licensing Manual; in all likelihood, I resorted to that myself when I last looked into this question, but I honestly don't remember.
