I asked our Oracle reseller this very same question, and this was her answer
on 8/25/2005:
"Per Oracles latest price list dated 8/19/05 it states: That for the Database (10G) this use is allowed...
"Restricted Use: Oracle Internet Directory for the purposes of storing Oracle Database Service information."
So I guess that as long as you don't use any of the AS stuff (which you have to install to get OID), you don't need a license. Seems like a waste of disk space to me.
