'It seems like a fishing expedition,' Woodard said. In a phone interview with The Register, David Woodard, COO of House of Brick Technologies, a Nebraska-based IT consultancy, said normally when a company sends another a bill, there's usually some sort of agreement or contract between them. Having that data would make it easier for Oracle to target payment demands.Īnd Palmer is not alone in that suspicion. Personal Use and/or Educational Use expressly exclude any use of the Product for commercial purposes or to operate, run, or act on behalf of or for the benefit of a business, organization, governmental organization, or educational institution.He said he wonders whether Oracle's demand might be a fishing expedition to get Merula to cough up customer data, similar to the scattershot legal demands that music companies in the past directed at ISPs to get the identities of subscribers sharing copyrighted music. “Evaluation” means testing the Product for up to thirty (30) days after expiry of that term, you are no longer permitted to use the Product. “Educational Use” is any use by teachers or students in an academic institution (schools, colleges and universities) as part of the institution’s educational curriculum. “Personal Use” is noncommercial use solely by the person downloading the Product from Oracle on a single Host Computer, provided that no more than one client or remote computer is connected to that Host Computer and that client or remote computer is used solely to remotely view the Guest Computer(s).

Oracle grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license without fees to reproduce, install, execute, and use internally the Product on Host Computers for your Personal Use, Educational Use, or Evaluation.

You should consider the license for the Extension Pack though: § 2 Grant of license.

I've been using the VirtualBox packages created by AutoPkgr recipe and they deploy properly.
