No reference to RAC in the following licensing document...for 11gR2
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e10594.pdf

and RADIUS) and network encryption (native
network encryption and SSL/TLS) are no longer part of Oracle Advanced

are available in all licensed editions of all supported releases of the
Oracle database.
