They said nothing about snooping but they did use a much nicer
euphemism...

Just for curiosity, how does Oracle check what kind of use you make of an

right to read a single packet of data. I dont think there is a way to
consider any data hosted in an OS as a publicly shared source of
information... and no communication behind a password is public. Testing and
demonstration are not required to be public actions either.. as they could
be handling very sensitive information. How are they tracking the computer's
activity?
Who said anything about snooping on your data or communications to verify the
use? Try turning down the paranoia level a little bit - it's just a EULA.
