But according to this article in El Reg

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/12/20/oracle_pricing_processor/

there are different multiplication factors that are used to determine the effective number of processors - either 0.25, 0.5 or 0.75, depending on the processor architecture.

Still smells like gouging to me.

I like El Reg - it's my fave news spot next to Slashdot...

But whatever, this licence thing is getting more and more complicated and convoluted by the day...
