Jerry,
I'd agree, but
As an Oracle $ale$-oriented zealot and understanding PROFIT is the bottom line, and NOT supportability, I would be glad to file an amicus curae brief through Oracle against you.
Just let me know.

Hi there,
I was thinking of reproducing certain published documents on our intranet, for educational puposes. Unfortunately, Oracle's "legal notices and terms of use" makes my head hurt. Is it legal to reproduce a doc from Metalink?
Here's an excerpt:
"You may not use, disclose, reproduce, transmit, or otherwise copy in any
form or by any means the information contained in the Materials for any
purpose, other than to support your authorized use of the Oracle Programs
for which you hold a supported license from Oracle, without the prior
written permission of Oracle."
I would think that I would be "supporting my authorized us of Oracle Programs" (since we have a license), right?
Thanks!
Jerry
