Now accepting the licence agreement mousetraps you (cant go back) to an |
| 15 |
oracle login/account creation. "Downloading these releases requires an |
| 16 |
oracle.com account. If you don't have an oracle.com account you can use |
| 17 |
the links on the top of this page to learn more about it and register |
| 18 |
for one for free." is at the top of the page the elog message links to. |

Looks like a trap to get a commercial contact for whatever company you |
| 21 |
work for. Mentions "Only developers and Enterprise administrators should |
| 22 |
download these releases." Recent change? |
