Hi everyone,  
I’m building a project that will connect to Enterprise Oracle DB. I’m researching connectors to this DB and was thinking about slick & alpakka.  
According to [Lightbend’s page](https://www.lightbend.com/products/slick-extensions) Slick extensions for production requires Lightbend’s subscription. However, I couldn’t find any info for alpakka-slick. Can I use it for production environment without any commercial subscription?

That is outdated info see: [http://slick.lightbend.com/news/2016/02/01/slick-extensions-licensing-change.html](http://slick.lightbend.com/news/2016/02/01/slick-extensions-licensing-change.html)

(I’ll see if I can get that page fixed/updated)
