Additionally, Oracle does not provide support for software downloaded via OTN.

No Technical Support
Our technical support organization will not provide technical support, phone support, or updates to you for the programs licensed under this agreement.

However, support is provided (given you have a valid support contract) for software downloaded through edelivery. How can they tell? I have no idea.

In other words, if I were deploying a production database, I would download through edelivery. No sense in taking a chance.
