Did Oracle release any info on their licensing changes?
I read something about site-based licensing a couple of weeks ago, haven't
heard anything else since.
There doesn't seem to be anything new on the Canadian Oracle Store web site.

My understanding of oracle licensing is that you pay (and pay and pay) for

you need to be careful if you are also using databases whose contents
appear on the web, as Oracle will want you to use a web license
