Oracle
Oracle licensing coverage across Database, Java SE, VirtualBox, Fusion, and cloud BYOL. Posts here split processor and NUP math from the Java employee metric, and cover how those metrics change on AWS, Azure, and other listed clouds.
Database work stays on cores, sockets, and Named User Plus. Java SE Universal Subscription is a headcount metric, not an install count, so Java-only questions belong in the Oracle Java category. Use this file when the contract, audit, or cloud BYOL position still mixes those products.
