As Jody points out, isn't the OTN Development License only useful for
creating prototypes and doing development?
"We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use the
programs only for the purpose of developing a single prototype of your
application, and not for any other purpose. If you use the application
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. "
Best regards,
Bart

Looking at MapViewer pages - trying to see if I can download the
source code:
- http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/mapviewer/index.html
I can download an EAR file (but need the usual I am not a terrorist
disclaimer) and "Oracle Technology Network Development License
Agreement" - not sure if that is an open source license or not?
It does have the following:
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.
Bleck; I just wish they would publish their jdbc drivers in a maven
repository some where and get out of my way. Nice database - shame
about the source code.

Oracle has submitted this workshop proposal to the "Free and Open
Source Software for Geospatial 2007 Conference".
This workshop describes how to use Oracle Database Express Edition
(XE) and Oracle MapViewer to develop a simple yet powerful geospatial
web application called “Geo Tags”. Documents (photos, pdf or word
docs, video clips) are geo-tagged and stored in the database.
MapViewer displays the locations referenced in the geo-tags and
retrieves documents at, or within, a user specified location.
