According to the price lists at
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/price-lists/index.html there is
no listing for the Database Gateway for ODBC. Since it's predecessor,
Oracle Generic Connectivity, had its license included in the database, it
would seem like a safe bet that this one Gateway is also included.
Standard "Oracle Corp Licensing is based on quarterly budgets, wind direction, and loose Biblical interpretations and not actual documentation -- see your Oracle Salesrep for definitive answers" disclaimer applies.

I found it. It's from Collaborate session 339 from 2010. It's all about the previous Generic Connectivity toolset, so I'm not sure how much help it would be now, but if needed, contact me. If that's in violation of the spirit of whatever licensing may be associated with these 5yo materials, I'd hope someone would gently slap my hand via email...
