Oracle XE license trade mark

Hi guys,
I read a lot of threads regarding the XE (+apex + listener) license and I think/hope I understood it correctly.
Seems like XE has a license that is free and you are able to use the DB for production products. In that license you have apex and listener.(I am not 100% sure about listener).
But the question is about the trademark:
This is what oracle XE license says:
In marketing, promoting, or distributing the programs, you agree to make it clear that Oracle is the source of the programs. You shall include on all copies of the programs used or distributed by you:
A. A reproduction of Oracle's copyright notice; or
B. A copyright notice indicating that the copyright is vested in you containing the following:
1. A "c" in a circle and the word "copyright";
2. Your name;
3. The date of copyright; and
4. The words "All rights reserved."
Such notices shall be placed on the documentation, the sign-on screen for any software incorporating the programs, and any media containing the programs.
I have an online application with login screen that is accesed by the clients.
what is A. A reproduction of Oracle's copyright notice
and what is B? what does it mean?
In case of B do I need to have somewhere in the page something like '(c) copyright Alin 2014-2015 All rights reserved'?
Thank you,
Alin

Thanks jariola,
I checked that blog before. it says about XE license and it clarifies a lot. But it does not explain you should reproduce Oracle's Copyright notice or you should create one by yourself: (A copyright notice indicating that the copyright is vested in you containing the following:)
any idea?
Thanks

Is new logo a trade mark?

Is it right that new logo is trade mark? In my humble opinion, it doesn't harmonize with open source ideology. If you are agreeable with me, can you remove (tm) from all pictures?

IANAL. But...
The Linux Mark Institute (http://www.linuxmark.org/) is the organisation that manages the Linux trademark (on behalf of Linus). To be honest I though this was only an issue if you try and register a trademark with the word "Linux" in, however, in the Linux Mark FAQ,
http://www.linuxmark.org/who_needs.php:
Examples of Use Requiring A Sublicense.
If you plan to market a Linux-based product or service to the public using a trademark that includes the element "Linux," such as "Super Dooper Linux" or "Real Time Linux Consultants" you are required to apply for and obtain a sublicense from LMI. This is true whether or not you apply to register your trademark with a government.
Also, http://www.linuxmark.org/faq.php:
If the answer to all three of the following questions is "yes," then you need to apply for a sublicense. If the answer to any of these questions is "no," then you do not need to apply for a sublicense.
1. Is my mark a trademark (see how we define "trademark," below)?
2. Does my mark contain the following string of adjacent letters, in this order: "Linux"? These letters may or may not be capitalized, and in the case of foreign characters, phonetic translations also apply.
3. Do I use my mark to identify software-related goods or services (see how that phrase is defined, below)?
I can't help noticing the word "Linux" in the ArchLinux trademark, hence it seems that there may be a requirement to get in touch with the LMI.
One may infer that given that the LMI hasn't been chasing various Linux-named distros, that suggests that the LMI doesn't consider it a problem. Maybe that's right. But maybe it's because they're a small outfit and chasing hobby distros isn't high on their priorities. If it were me, based on what I've now read at the LMI site, I'd get in touch with them (because I'd want to be a good Linux citizen and not want to knowingly contravene the law) - hopefully they will say "don't worry about it ArchLinux is fine", etc, etc. I dunno, I believe there's a can of worms here that very few people are thinking about.

Oracle database licenses for 32 bit and 64 bit ?

Quick question on Oracle Licensing.
We have brought Oracle database license for 10g few years ago. We had 10g 32-bit database installed and its working fine.
Now we are in the process of migrating our hardware to 64-bit, since Oracle database has a 64-bit database, we are planning to move our database as well to 10g 64-bit database.
Now as far as licensing is concerned, do we need to buy new licenses in order to use the 10g 64-bit database ?
or its the same license for 32 or 64 bit database - so we are good ?

You can migrate your Oracle license from one platofrm to another even if the platform is sold by a different manufacturer. If you have cpu licenses though you have to take into consideration the different way Oracle charges for some vendor CPU's. That is not all CPU's are considered equal.
The licensing information is available at oracle.com and your sales representive should be able to help if necessary. We just open an SR and ask Oracle for assistance to get the necessary software.

Oracle client licensing info

Hello All,
I am looking for Oracle client license cost per user.I could not find it in Oracle Technology Global Price list. Please advice.
Thank you,
Aditya

Yes, actual client software that justs lets an application connect to Oracle is free as opposed to a specific Oracle product that run in client/server format. What you license the the connection itself, either by named user or CPU count on database server. So when the client software makes a connection that is what you pay for, not the client software itself.
There should be a license file included in the client download which can be found on-line.

Oracle 10g Licensing Query

Hi,
I have a query with regards to Oracle 10g licensing for additional options (OLAP, Data Mining, Partitioning, Spatial & Database Vault) on top of enterprise edition.
Even though i am not using any of the options, i have them installed along with enterprise edition. Do i still need to pay for these additional options?
From 10g, you can always prove to oracle that any of the features/options are not in use via DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS.
We are using shared infrastructure for hosting many application databases. Today we have a application that uses only partitioning, but tommorrow we might have to create a database within the same oracle home that uses OLAP & data mining as well.
would be interested in knowing what is oracle stand on this i.e. we pay for additional options only if we are using them or we pay just because they are installed regardless of we are using them or not??
Thanks & Regards
Chandar

Chandark,
You need to pay licenses if you are using it commercially and if it is installed and you haven't paid for it then how would you stop anyone not using it because its not paid but its there. This will be against your contractual agreement and they may fine you or you have to pay for the options. So I recommend not to install options you haven't paid for to avoid any issues. But if you are using for learning purpose and not commercial then you are good. You can further contact local Oracle Support or local Sales rep for more information
Hope this helps, regards

Handle Trade Mark Sign in message

Hi All,
I need to send a symbol u2122
The HTML code is u201C™u201D u2122 Trade Mark Sign
ECC is sending u201C™u201D the u201C&u201D is transformed into & the at end looks like u201C&#8482;u201D
How should i handle this.
Thanks

The escape sequences are necessary to distinguish XML content and control signs such as &, < and >. The escape sequences start with an ampersand (&). For example: u2018&u2019 represents u2018&u2019 and u2018>u2019 represents u2018>u2019.
All XI components that convert between text and XML perform the escaping and deescaping of above-mentioned characters. In some cases, an external sender of an XML message does not provide this functionality and therefore a parsing error occurs
whenever an ampersand appears in the XML document. The only solution is to use a Java mapping before the actual mapping to perform the escaping.
So you need a Java mapping.

Is ODI 12c included in 12c Oracle Server License?

Hello,
I'm looking into the licensing information and the only thing I was able to find out about ODI 12c is for Data integrator Enterprise Edition, that costs some 23k per CPU.
Plus Golden Gate for access to non-Oracle data sources.
Can someone please let me know if there's a basic version of ODI included in Oracle Server 12c license and if possible provide a link? It would be very helpful, since my current customers are using basic OWB and if they got to shell out 23k+ per CPU for ODI I think they'll look into the alternatives on the market.
Kind regards,
m

No, ODI license is not included with Oracle DB license.

Oracle User Licensing

Hi,
Does anyone can help us out with Oracle User Licensing.
We have most of the users as iExpense user or requisition users, means they use oracle only for entering their expense report or creating requisition. Does anybody have clarity that whether we still need oracle license for them?
Or is their any mini/small kind of license for these group of employees?
Say in a company of 5000 employees, only 200 uses oracle but do we need to buy lincese for all 5000, since we have to provide them iexpense responsibility for their expense report?
Any clarification on this matter is highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks Srini for your quick reply.
Before we go to Sales rep, we wanted to see if some companies have negotiated for iExpense user or temp user rates.
It will not make sense to buy the licence for 5000 users when only 200 are active users and 4800 are only iexpense or requisition users.
If we ask this question to oracle rep, they are bound to try to sell the full license to us.
Have you heard of situation like us anytime?

Oracle Options licensed 1:1 with Oracle Ent. Edition 11gR2 or by Instance?

Are Oracle Options licensed 1:1 with Oracle Ent. Edition 11gR2 (e.g. by CPU core multiplier) or by number of database instances on a host? In other words, if I need to purchase two Oracle Enterprise Edition licenses for a single host, do I need to purchase the same number of Oracle Option licenses (again, based on a CPU core multiplier). Or by the number of Oracle database instances installed on that host?
Anyone have a link to an official Oracle options licensing document that spells this out? Found one for 11g but it didn't get down into the weeds, saying if there was any difference between # of licenses required for an Option vs. a license for Oracle Enterprise Edition itself.
Requested Oracle option licensing reference

They are licensed 1:1 with EE, so 4 EE licenses means 4 Partitioning Option licenses, etc.
It is in the Oracle Store.

Oracle Lite licensing

I would like to know if buying oracle lite licenses for our remote users than I have to pay the same number of licenses for Enterprise database server which synchronizes data with Olite via Mobile Server. For example : With 1000 remote users (with 1000 Olite licenses) have I to pay also unlimited enterprise database license, or I can pay only one enterprise license or nothing ?
Thanks for the attention.

Hi,
Related to Oracle Lite you need to license:
- the Oracle Lite Mobile Server
- the Oracle Lite client (for each device)
If you want to have an aproach check any online store of Oracle, but anyway you will have to contact an Oracle Partner for licensing, discounts, etc... if your partner know about mobile ;-)

Oracle 8i License

Hi,
We are current using a 2-tier system with Oracle 8i Database, and we are going to replicate this system to another company without any changes.
May I know is there purchase any license for the Oracle 8i Database, thanks.
Tony

Both sites must have the Oracle Database licensed (by Users or Processor counts).
Back sometime in V7, "Distirbuted Databases" or "Replication" may have been an Option.
But since 8i or 8.0, it is a "feature" of the Enterprise Edition. (Basic Replication -- simple Materialized Views has been available even in the Standard Edition).

Do Siebel Remote Users need an Oracle database license?

the subject says it all ...
Since Remote is using Sybase, I wonder whether a Oracle Client license is needed for remote only users.

I assume that the remote users will sync from time to time.
I also assume that you are running the server on Oracle DB.
That means that the users still need to have a login on the Oracle DB.
So depending on the terms of your Oracle contract (like named users or concurrent users), you have to count them in the license cost of the Oracle DB.
