Re: Named users!
Seán, I don't believe that is the situation. We have "named users" license for the development server where there are 3 developers and 2 testers, But the dba_users lists all 250 users that are on the production system. Each user can have a different role or table access allowed and must be tested properly. It comes down to a matter of integrity and honesty when dealing with the licenses. 10 Named users allows up to 10 people to use the product legally.

Re: Named users! - final clarification
Based on Oracle definition of Named Users below I would have to say in your scenario that 7 Named Users are required. I would think the Oracle auto-generated Users are somewhat of a gray area. Perhaps others can clarify. Rick In named user licensing, the license specifies a number of named users, where a named user is an individual who is authorized to use Oracle on the specified computer. No limit is set on the number of sessions each user can have concurrently, or on the number of concurrent sessions for the database. Named user licensing allows a DBA to set a limit on the number of users that are defined in a database (LICENSE_MAX_USERS), including users connected via database links. Once this limit is reached, no one can create a new user. This mechanism assumes that each person accessing the database has a unique user name in the database and that no two (or more) people share a user name.

Re: Named users! - final clarification
I think that you got the concept wrong. Named users are NOT the userids define in the database. Named users are flesh and blood people that are using applications that access the database. So, if you have an application that use userid GATESB to access the database and you have Bill, Jones and Smith using this application you have 3 named users.
