Considering the features my company uses, there is no way I could get away with a SE install anyway...:)

I must admit I've heard similar - and didn't believe a word of it - or rather that it would stand up. You can't, IMO, publish a list of things that you can license in SE and then say that people that use only them are not correctly licensed. Especially if you publish security advice that tells people (correctly) not to install features they don't use.

Niall,
During some licensing training I got from oracle, it was stated that the custom install is always an enterprise install. Even if you don't select any of the enterprise options.

my experience with 11g is a mixed bag.
Installed 11.1.0.6 at a customer site as a demo on T1000/Solaris 10 and ran into problem when I showed them how to apply a patchset (11.1.0.7): the SE installation became EE with all features on. Wonder if the next release then phones home?
Oracle has a history of doing that - assuming you are checking via the banner - You also can't do a custom SE install on at least some versions, it then gets reported as EE via v$version. DBA_REGISTRY seems to be reliable though for installed features at least though I'd like it to list features and options (yes I know about v$option) so that people knew what they had installed. Still one windows patch supplied a debug dll for distributed transactions that then stopped TPMs working at all!
