Not how I read it. If you keep actual recipes or your CD collection then
you are doing internal data processing, which the license forbids.
However, you are free to develop the database design and code for Recipe
Tracker 1.0 or CD Manager 1.0, and of course use test data to help in
testing and debugging your application.
Keeping your own recipes at home in an Oracle database may be
technically violating the agreement but even if it comes to Oracle's
attention it doesn't seem cost-effective that Oracle will activate its
legal defense mechanism in that particular case. I think it's more aimed
at companies that are deriving measurable financial benefit from the use
of Oracle apps.
(Disclaimer: this is my personal opinion, I am untrained in legal
affairs and I am not representing Oracle Corporation by these statements).
