I don't notice anything in the STH article about the license terms. (Sorry if I'm just missing it.)
Given Oracle's reputation, no evaluation is complete without a thorough examination of those terms, ideally by a competent lawyer.

If you are running a business sure. But personally I just would like a beefy cloud instance to run some things off of for personal use.
Kinda perfect for that.

You have to manually upgrade your account to get charged.

I bet you don't need to upgrade your account to receive nastygrams from Oracle legal, though.

I've had an account for a couple of years and I might have received a survey email once, but otherwise I have received only things like notifications about infrastructure changes and there haven't been many of those.
> To us, this is a big deal. This is perhaps one of the best “free” instances that one can get. Something that we really like about Oracle’s Always Free tier is that one can use it without being as worried about overages as with Amazon’s offering. AWS has a size advantage, but Oracle has a great Always Free Tier offering.
