licience and reliablity? 'free download' from oracle site: Oracle Provider for OLE DB 8.1.7.2.0

hi,
I downloaded "Oracle Provider for OLE DB 8.1.7.2.0 " at http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/windows/ole_db/htdocs/utilsoft.htm, which is a public site. It just fit my oracle visual-basic-client/mid-tier needs against a production oracle database.

It's a oracle client utility, which contains the following compoents:

   Oracle Provider for OLE DB 8.1.7.2.0 (full install)    Oracle Services for MTS 8.1.7
   Oracle Client 8.1.7
   Oracle Installer 8.1.7
Could I legitimately use all the componets and distribute them to my own applications on my end users' computers inside our company? It's freeware or shareware? Anyway, is it legal and technically reliable as opposed to using the offical cd packs from oracle? thkx Received on Wed Oct 03 2001 - 21:55:11 CDT
