Obviously someone tried to bullshit you. There has definitely never been a law in germany that says that you have to lock your car or your house. Neiter do you need a permission to start a business. No concept of freedom? I think this is not true as either. At least germany doesn't have something like the NSA or FBI, eavesdropping on your communication channels regularly.
Doing such things here is very complicated for the police or the government because of very strict laws that protect your privacy.
The high end of the Oracle product line, the OPS costs (depending on the number of "power units" -> #CPU * processor clock) easily $200 000 - $300 000. Oracle seems to have changed the pricing structure. A half year ago they wanted to sell us the OPS license for about $1,000,000.
