Aaah ... the ongoing license fee myth! (#83?) Sadly incorrect, just as your other myths.
Oracle charges once for a perpetual license. An Oracle license allows you to use it forever if you wish (which is why there are still sites using Oracle6).
You can, if you wish, get support for a license. That is annual, and provides unlimited support calls. Quite different from licensing.
