I was thinking more of something like: Name: Title: Company: Number of Emp: Planned use of oracle: Planned License: Why Oracle on FreeBSD: Kept private: Email: Tele: Automatically mailed and archived on a web page for them to see, the email would look something like: --- Request for Oracle-FreeBSD <Name> at who is the <Title> at <Company> is interested in Oracle on FreeBSD. The license sought is <num license> of <License> You can reach <Name> at <Email> or <Tele>. To see other users requesint an oracle version of FreeBSD please visit: http://url/... --- The private stuff could be given to Oracle if they desired to put some "real people" behind these requests.
