Are there any licencing costs for Oracle Clients ?

11.2/Solaris 10

In my shop, we only install Oracle Client of type Instaclient (not the 'Administrator' type). Instaclient is very basic ; it only has some basic library files and sqlplus binary (no tnsping , exp, imp,...etc). I think they are doing this for saving licence costs.

Does oracle actually charge for Oracle Client installations ? If so, is there a significant cost difference between 'Administrator' type and 'Instaclient' type ?
