I'm not in sales or legal, and have no quota, so you may choose to disbelieve
me if you wish. :)
However, I think the licensing HYPERLINK
"http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/license.121/e24474/ch1_introduction.htm#CJADBDCI"doc
does make it pretty clear:
Enterprise Manager includes a restricted-use license of the Oracle Database
for use only with the Oracle Management Repository or other complementary
repositories included with Enterprise Manager (such as, Real User Experience
Insight, Load Testing, and Functional Testing).
Additional database options or additional servers for disaster recovery
require separate licensing. Customers receive one single-instance database with
the Cloud Control, or RMAN, repository. To protect the repository with Data
Guard, customers need to purchase a license for the standby site. To protect
the repository with Oracle Real Application Clusters, customers must license
the second node for the database, and both nodes require an Oracle Real
Application Clusters license.
Use of Oracle WebLogic Server with Oracle Enterprise Manager is restricted
to the servlet functionality without clustering for the Oracle Management
Service (OMS).
Use of Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder is licensed, as long as a the
assemblies are deployed through Enterprise Manager.
Oracle Enterprise Manager includes restricted use of Oracle Business
Intelligence Publisher and Business Intelligence Mobile for use with Enterprise
Manager functions and interfaces only.
HTH.

Thanks for the rewording. I now catch your meaning.
I've decided that their license conditionals "a separate database may be used
for the RMAN repository" + "a separate database may be used for the OMR" should
be two separate databases [as long as all targets are properly licensed] ,
which makes them each properly licensed, and then
you should be able to use DG Logical to provide protections. ;-)
(Sophistry, I say! Sophistry!! A delight to nimble minds and lawyers
alike.)
Needless to say, the entire discussion of standby DB and this variant will
likely always require Oracle sales and legal to interpret, and thus will almost
always be determined entirely by delta-to-quota.
