Re: Oracle License for Training

Interesting idea! =)
I'll look through the license agreement (OTN) again. Then find a lawyer who's willing to be a partner... And who knows...

Thanks a lot to Dennis W, Tim G, Dick G, Stephane F, jeremy P and Markus R! Thanks to everyone!

I'm still open to any input/ideas/partnerships(?). Feel free to email me. I'll let you guys know how this little venture goes.

=)
