Reducing Oracle Development Licenses

[ianlo]

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on cost cutting measures and I would like to check if anyone knows if we can run a SINGLE development instance of Oracle for OTM without having to pay Oracle licenses for that instance?

It says specifically in the development license agreement that:

You may not:
- use the programs for your own internal data processing or for any commercial or production purposes, or use the programs for any purpose except the development of a single prototype of your application;
- use the application you develop with the programs for any internal data processing or commercial or production purposes without securing an appropriate license from us;
- continue to develop your application after you have used it for any internal data processing, commercial or production purpose without securing an appropriate license from us, or an Oracle reseller;

Because OTM only ever uses one instance of Oracle this should be applicable and we should not need to pay Oracle development licenses.

Can someone please help comment or clarify? (Esp. laywers )

Thanks!
Ian
