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'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.
