Reason for lack of Oracle driver

Is there a reason why there is no oracle support in squeak (such as
licensing issues) or is it simply that nobody has done it yet ?

What would I have to do to write a driver ? Would I use FFI and hook
up to linclntsh.so (or oci.dll) ? A lot of what is needed could
probably be stolen from perl or Smalltalk/X oracle drivers isn't it ?
