I have installed Enterprise Edition of 11g.The default installation installs a lot of additional packs which needs a license.Is there any option so i can have a clean install of Enterprise Edition without any license trouble? Why do Oracle installs most of the packs default which are not licensed ?

You should disable the packs, by default diagniostic and tuning are enabled:
orcl> sho parameters pack
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
control_management_pack_access string DIAGNOSTIC+TUNING
orcl>
Set it to none, and you'll be OK.

Unfortunately, it isn't that easy. As you say, you have to pay to use the ASH or AWR reports for instance. But the snapshots will still be collected becasuse they are also used for some features that you are allowed to use, such as the space advisor or the undo advisor. If you query dba_autotask_client, I think you'll find that at the moment all three clients are enabled - but if you set that parameter, the sql tuning client will be disabled. I think.
The only way I know for sure is to use Enterprise Manager. If you disable the packs with that parameter, then all the relevant options will disappear from OEM. But you can still get to some of them (such as AWR reports) from the command line.
It's horrible.

Also i installed Standard Edition One,and i tried to create materialized view which works but Oracle says it is not licensed with SE1 then why they allow one to create the materialized view ? Oracle should stop this bad practice and either they disable the option or allow them but don't trick the customers.

And I really like it that way. Considering that 6 of the 8 times in the last six years a system was "completely down" in our company was due to technical problems in the respective licensing scheme.
I also like that you can prototype with all the features you like, and then decide if that particular feature is necessary for the production version or not. Opposed to other companies that try to sell you a features before you can test them.
