Finally [after all these years of my whining] ... according to the Licensing guide for DB 12c
Oracle Database Personal Edition is available on Linux.
This is a BIG announcement.
Personal Edition is for developers, can only be licensed for one Named User (but that Named User (eg: me) can log on many times under many different DB user IDs)
AND it includes ALL Enterprise Edition Options - Spatial, Advanced Security, Compression, etc. - except RAC and the OEM Packs.
This makes it feasible for a 1 man shop to license and get support (including patches) for a reasonable fee.
From
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/license.121/e17614/editions.htm#CJADFHGH
