I would not think you would need a license for evaluating the software. However, once you cross the line into development or production licensing is mandatory.
Unless things have changed, the Oracle LINUX client is free, but the LINUX server requires licensing as defined above.

This is only for short term testing and to "try out" various DR scenarios etc. I'd guess there's an "Oracle" view which would be if you install on server you pay a licence, (correct?). Is there some workaround for this?. All creative ideas welcome :) ------------------------- Seán O' Neill Organon (Ireland) Ltd.
