Scope for this post: ‘Full Use’ – model, in a post later on I will talk about the different Hosting licenses (which is different from Cloud-credits ! ).

This – hopefully clarifying – blog is part of a small series and is an updated blogpost of one I wrote a few years ago, published on my private website. The general feeling most of the time is that you pay too much for the use of the Oracle products, and it’s not always sure if you are compliant, because of the complexity of the rules.
