RE: a dumb question about download software from otn.oracle.com

We were told same thing a long time ago. Il has a loophole that lets you avoid incurring the tax on software.
I think it depends on state. You're paying state tax right?

On the 10g install I just did - we were told by the Oracle Sales rep to just use the otn download. Also, there was some mention of the idea that if they got CDs, they would have to pay sales tax on the Oracle licenses, but by downloading it, no sales tax was required - I'm not sure on the truth of that and am certainly not encouraging tax evasion - I love uncle sam! :-)

Thanks for the tip about edelivery. I must admit that it never occurred to me that the OTN versions could be different from those on CDs, but I rather doubt that they are. Still, I'll use edelivery from now on!
