Standby Database Licensing

Years ago, I know we could have a standby database without having to license dataguard. If you setup the standby database yourself and used scripts to apply the logs and gap analysis.  

Do any of you know if you are required to license Dataguard now to be able to use a standby database? I was recently told by people in our office that we weren't licensed for dataguard and therefore we weren't licensed for a standby database.  

Thoughts?
