Does the Oracle ODBC driver sit on top of SQL*Net, or is it a replacement (both are level "3" above or is this a typo?)

I would gather the Oracle Objects for OLE works like this:  

1. VB (or other tool)
2. OOforOLE
3. SQL*Net V1 or V2
4. TCP/IP software (eg LAN Workplace from Novell, WinSock, etc.)
5. Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card)

What are the licensing arrangements for the Oracle objects drivers?  

I am currently working with SQLNET, just calling it with OCI, which is a long and hard thing to program. If I move to Oracle Objects for OLE or the ODBC stack, do I need to buy separate developer and runtime licences?
