Since it's often confused by various people, just to reiterate: All servers must be licensed, whether in r/w, r/o or recovery disconnect.
And, as clarification, standby is not DataGuard. DataGuard is simply a technology that automates the process [work] flow of standby for Oracle databases: the extraction, shipping, receiving, application of logs and coordinated switchover/failover control.
Basically Oracle is saying you can not configure DG, although nothing - as far as I can tell - is stopping you from manually doing the same thing as Data Guard provides.
Rather than try to duplicate DG capabilities, just peek at DbVisit, an Oracle partner who provides a great & legal standby solution for Standard Edition at a very reasonable price. http://dbvisit.com
