   Aaah ... the ongoing license fee myth! (#83?)  Sadly incorrect, just as your   
   other myths.   
      
      
   Oracle charges once for a perpetual license. An Oracle license allows you to   
   use it forever if you wish (which is why there are still sites using   
   Oracle6).   
      
      
   You can, if you wish, get support for a license.  That is annual, and   
   provides unlimited support calls.  Quite different from licensing.
