This is the first I've ever heard of such. All the information I got
previously was that Oracle is the high-end commercial RDBS that hardly
anybody can afford and so there's no way they'd give it away for free.
If I ever can get the modem on my laptop working again, I might see
about downloading the free Oracle. Thanks for the clue, even though I
can't make any use of it at present.

Is there a free version that works on FreeBSD Unix?
If the whole things occupies less than ten megabytes, I could install
it on my personal shell account.
