I meant contact Oracle Inc _Direct_ & ask to purchase licenses for BSD. Not ask a forum of users including the clueless Oracle user you quoted. If you only want to buy a few licenses. Oracle probably won't be interested (unless you convince them you'r a path finder for more purchasers to come); ... but on top of Krad's Solaris approach, if you wanted to try out Oracle, as well as native, you might perhaps try it on a linux or opensolaris within eg FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/emulators/virtualbox/ (if you try it & get stuck there's an emulat...@freebsd list).
