At the moment, all we have is a Software Grant. While we could chose to go back and ask for me (and likely will when it comes to other source files that we determine we might need), I see nothing that indicates that we have a need to request the transfer of hardware. As to the question as to whether or not such hardware is Oracle's property, I have no opinion on the topic. > S. - Sam Ruby
