Re: JDev licensing - how free is free

I remember seeing a posting on OTN JDeveloper forum, indicating that if use the BC4J then you need to obtain a license (this was the answer of an Oracle JDeveloper project manager to a licensing related question). This is different than paying 995 per developer license. It is not really free unless you try to learn the tool at home. regards
