Not that I know.  UTSP.

The QOCISPATIAL driver was just developed (well, actually it's just an enhanced
version of Qt's QOCI driver) to allow QGIS to access Oracle database - and if
the GPL wouldn't forbid to link proprietary libraries, it would probably not
exists at all as the oracle provider could then interface OCI directly.   So
what QGIS doesn't need (or didn't need at the time) might not be there.
