Excellent.
Now we have yet another licensing doc with a slightly different wording. I explicitly referenced the database 11gR2 license doc.
But this one does go the extra step, missing in the doc I referenced, to clarify the HA case. Which clears up a huge piece of that puzzle - Thanks Pete.
(And I suspect the majority of DBAs will likely reference the DB License doc, not the OEM license doc. Perhaps a link between the two docs ... but that is a challenge of a completely different scale.)
