I'm afraid I agree with Daniel and DJ. Yes licensing is relevant, however this was merely a suggestion that if you can't negotiate support correctly with Oracle corp you should therefore buy another product. It also was *extremely* similar to the pro postgres stuff that was posted here for no reason a while back.

Finally appergy are a commercial entity that consult on negotiating licensing with Oracle. All told I'd rather have seen this in c.d.o.marketplace.
