I wouldn't say that I'm an Oracle license specialist, but IIRC Pro*C has been included in the basic license since a couple of releases. The last release I remember you needed a separate license was 5, but maybe it was the case in 6 as well.

Focusing on 9i,
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/A95493_01/componen.htm#634251 shows what components need separate licenses. Pro*C isn't one of them. De options markes with a separate license note are:
- Advanced security

Change Management Pack
Diagnostics Pack
Internet Directory (for general purpose LDAP usage)
Label Security
OLAP
Partitioning
RAC
Spatial
Tuning Pack
Advanced Analytic Services - Data Mining

However, Oracle licensing details aren't available in a prominently visable clear matrix on their website, it's more or less obfuscated, hidden in all sorts of documents. Otherwise these questions might not arise so often in this list.....
Therefore, I need a disclaimer here: The observation that you do not need to license Pro*C separately is just my personal observation, and final answers about licensing are only available from authorized Oracle employees!

;-)

	Hi:
	
	It may be slightly off topic.
	Does anyone aware of the licensing terms for Pro*C in 9i EE. Do
we
	have to pay any additional license fee to use Pro*C?
	
	Thanks in advance
	Sami
