Not strictly true, the only db product that you can legally download for this purpose is in fact the XE product (with the single process/ 4gb ram etc restriction). The rest are licensed only for prototype development - see my blog at http://www.orawin.info/services/node/37 and indeed the license.

I personally think this is unfortunate, but there you go.
