I think Sujoy is looking for a copy of Single-CPU, Single-User Developer Editions for developing and prototyping alone. Getting some1 to d/l and burn in on a CD for you and using that copy is quiet legal. Given the fact, that b/w is expensive in India, my *guess* wud be that Oracle India doesn't frown too much on using a copy for development and prototyping alone.. although its in violation of its EULA, as long as u r not using it for commercial purpose -- either in-house or selling to 3rd parties... i may be wrong though! Of course Oracle wud like the user downloads or gets the CD from them... for free (excluding the d/l b/w cost and the CD-media) --indra. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
