Anyone think this is the only software contract like this?

Oracle in particular is pretty bad. We had to create an entirely separate virtualization environment for our servers that have Oracle software on them to comply with their new rules. If you don't do that, they charge you for every single server in the environment whether or not it's running anything from them.

New rules? Pretty sure that’s been oracle policy since virtualization was even a thing. If the software is installed on the processor, they charge you.
