Yeah, but you could almost achieve the same thing with MTS and Oracle never charged more for this... IMHO, they should have some form of license for this situation but based on estimated concurrent users. Dusan's environment is quite common.

Any attempt to capitalize on that will cause Oracle problems in the long run. Of course, by then the arsehole who came up with that idea will be long gone and out of reach for responsibility. Oh well, isn't IT such a great industry...
