What you read is not true. Oracle has many licensing models. And finding out the various models and which one is best for you is not something you can do in a usenet group.

Phone Oracle and have them send out someone to answer your questions directly and confirm a quotation in writing.

Any advice you get here will be either wrong, irrelevant, or not necessarily true for you in your country.
