I need the patch #2376472 from Metalink - Can anyone tell me  how 2 get it

Please note I have a CSI # which I was told has expired. I need to obtain this patch and am disparately trying to obtain it with little success thus far
You would think Oracle would let third party support people download and distribute as is such a patch but Oracle does not allow such distribution.
Can anyone one advise me on the best means to obtain this patch - Getting a cheap metalink account would probably be my best bet but Oracle makes getting such an account very hard to do. You would think this would not be such a huge problem but it is !

I believe in general the cheapest Metalink access is to purchase a copy of Personal Oracle with a support contract.
From a legal standpoint, though, I would tend to question why you are downloading a patch for a product whose support contract has expired. If you have a product that needs patching and an expired CSI, that would imply to me that you purchased a product and an initial support contract, then let the support contract expire. If that's the case, you'd no longer be eligible for patch updates. You'd need to talk to your Oracle Sales rep to figure out how to bring the support agreement current.
