I fully appreciate all that you wrote, though like HPUXRAC, I disagree with some of those decisions. But one problem with the above sentence is that evaluating how we use a product posits that we are not going to tell Oracle we are violating a license.

I think refusing a revenue stream with Standard Edition counter-productive. If we want to give you money ... the least you can do is take it.

And you might be surprised at the large number of DBAs, in shops using SE, that would say "Thank you" for access for being able to legally use some of those built-ins.

Not, of course, that anyone ever violates the license terms. ;-)
