and remember, that is the otn license, the official source for that is otn.oracle.com (and that is where you get software from as well)

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/htdocs/devlic.html?http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/solx86soft.html

for example -- that is the 10g for solaris x86 (really old, unsupported software like version 8 is not available for download or anything really)

I know the OP cannot use this version, just wanted to point to the source for the license.
