Oracle Licensing to be Transparent?

2002-07-12 Thread Orr, Steve

Evidently Oracle is going to build some web pages to spell out licensing
issues and definitions. Wonder how often that web site will need to be
updated. And of course everything will be crystal clear when it's done.  ;-)

Kimberly Floss, database administrator team leader at Quaker Oats Co., in Chicago, 
said she hopes the guide helps resolve Oracle's issues. Floss, who manages Oracle 
databases, has not had licensing problems herself ...

She obviously has never been involved in any Oracle licensing discussions.  Ever try 
to get more than 1 Oracle employee to give you the same answer on this topic?  
Especially when it comes to clusters and web servers.  Sometimes, even the simple 
definition of a user elicits hours of debate.

These web pages will certainly provide fodder for this list!

I leave licensing discussions to the company CIO  Lawyers.  Way too complicated
for me.
