For good reason. Oracle's licensing is nefarious. They changed the licensing of the extension pack between versions, so now if you run it for personal use but connect to your company's wifi, they'll get your company on the hook for "violating" their license.

However, you don't need the extension pack at all to run 3.11 or 9x.
