I wanted to access my Oracle DataBase at home so that I could work weekends, etc. I talked to my database administrator and all he had to do was add my home IP to his records, and I was allowed access.

The OTN download license allows us to install the full suite of Oracle software, providing it is for the purposes of self-education.
So really it depends on what you mean by “play around with queries from home”. If you’re doing work you need a database licence; if you’re teaching yourself about Oracle you don’t.
The bigger issue is data security: the chances are you’re not allowed to have the data on a laptop. Follow the news to understand why this is a bad idea. If you want to teach yourself Oracle there are lots of publicly available data sets we can download from the internet.
