Taken off of Oracle's web site. It was very easy to find.
ORACLE TECHNOLOGY NETWORK DEVELOPMENT LICENSE AGREEMENT "We," "us," and "our" refers to Oracle Corporation. "You" and "your" refers to the individual or entity that has ordered the programs from Oracle. "Programs" refers to the software product which you have ordered and program documentation. "License" refers to your right to use the programs under the terms of this agreement. This agreement is governed by the substantive and procedural laws of California.

We are willing to license the programs to you only upon the condition that you accept all of the terms contained in this agreement.

License Rights
We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use
the programs only for purposes of developing and prototyping your
applications, and not for any other purpose. If you use the
applications you develop under this license for any internal data
processing or for any commercial or production purposes, or you want
to use the programs for any purpose other than as permitted under this
agreement, you must contact us, or an Oracle reseller, to obtain the
appropriate license. We may audit your use of the programs. Program
documentation is either shipped with the programs, or documentation
may accessed online at http://otn.oracle.com/docs.
Ownership and Restrictions
We retain all ownership and intellectual property rights in the
programs. The programs may be installed on one computer only, and
used by one person in the operating environment identified by us. You
may make one copy of the programs for backup purposes.
You may not:
·use the programs for your own internal data processing or for any
commercial or production purposes, or use the programs for any purpose
except the development and prototyping of your applications;
·use the applications you develop with the programs for any internal
data processing or commercial or production purposes without securing
an appropriate license from us;
·remove or modify any program markings or any notice of our
proprietary rights;
·make the programs available in any manner to any third party;
·use the programs to provide third party training;
·assign this agreement or give or transfer the programs or an interest
in them to another individual or entity;
·cause or permit reverse engineering or decompilation of the programs;
·disclose results of any program benchmark tests without our prior
consent; or,
·use any Oracle name, trademark or logo.
Export
You agree that U.S. export control laws and other applicable export
and import laws govern your use of the programs, including technical
data. You agree that neither the programs nor any direct product
thereof will be exported, directly, or indirectly, in violation of
these laws, or will be used for any purpose prohibited by these laws
including, without limitation, nuclear, chemical, or biological
weapons proliferation.
Disclaimer of Warranty and Exclusive Remedies
THE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE
FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS,
REVENUE, DATA OR DATA USE, INCURRED BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER
IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT OR TORT, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES
HEREUNDER SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS (U.S. $1,000).
Trial Programs Included With Orders
We may include additional programs with an order which may be used for
trial purposes only. You will have 30 days from the delivery date to
evaluate these programs. Any use of these programs after the 30 day
trial period requires you to obtain the applicable license. Programs
licensed for trial purposes are provided "as is" and we do not provide
technical support or any warranties for these programs.
No Technical Support
Our technical support organization will not provide technical support,
phone support, or updates to you for the programs licensed under this
agreement.
End of Agreement
You may terminate this agreement by destroying all copies of the
programs. We have the right to terminate your right to use the
programs if you fail to comply with any of the terms of this
agreement, in which case you shall destroy all copies of the programs.
Relationship Between the Parties
The relationship between you and us is that of licensee/licensor.
Neither party will represent that it has any authority to assume or
create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other
party, nor to represent the other party as agent, employee,
franchisee, or in any other capacity. Nothing in this agreement shall
be construed to limit either party's right to independently develop or
distribute software that is functionally similar to the other party's
products, so long as proprietary information of the other party is not
included in such software.
Restricted Rights
Use, duplication or disclosure by the United States government is
subject to the restrictions as set forth in the Rights in Technical
Data and Computer Software Clauses in DFARS 252.227-7013(c)(1)(ii) and
FAR 52.227-19(c)(2) as applicable. The manufacturer is Oracle
Corporation, 500 Oracle Parkway, Redwood City, California 94065,
U.S.A.
Open Source
"Open Source" software - software available without charge for use,
modification and distribution - is often licensed under terms that
require the user to make the user's modifications to the Open Source
software or any software that the user 'combines' with the Open Source
software freely available in source code form. If you use Open Source
software in conjunction with the programs, you must ensure that your
use does not: (i) create, or purport to create, obligations of us
with respect to the Oracle programs; or (ii) grant, or purport to
grant, to any third party any rights to or immunities under our
intellectual property or proprietary rights in the Oracle programs.
For example, you may not develop a software program using an Oracle
program and an Open Source program where such use results in a program
file(s) that contains code from both the Oracle program and the Open
Source program (including without limitation libraries) if the Open
Source program is licensed under a license that requires any
"modifications" be made freely available. You also may not combine
the Oracle program with programs licensed under the GNU General Public
License ("GPL") in any manner that could cause, or could be
interpreted or asserted to cause, the Oracle program or any
modifications thereto to become subject to the terms of the GPL.
Entire Agreement
You agree that this agreement is the complete agreement for the
programs and licenses, and this agreement supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous agreements or representations. If any term of this
agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions will remain effective.
