I do enterprise consulting, all these licensing costs are usually a small footnote in overall project costs.

I don't think that says a whole lot about Oracle's growth opportunities as everyone moves to the cloud.

Direct licensing costs are not all that matters. The restrictions on architectural choices and the uncertainty created by these complex licensing structures could hurt them a lot more.
