As I have stated in the past in these discussions you should take a trip
down to your companies Chief legal counsel and let them explain the
differences to you about legal contracts and what do the real contracts
versus the white papers mean to your company.

The key difference here is what is a legal contract, a white paper you
download or a legal document you agree too.
The OTN agreement and any legal paperwork you sign with Oracle when you
actually order a product or support are legal documents and those documents
state specifically what documents are included within those documents and
that the document being signed/agreed to are the only part of the
agreement.
Yes if two legal documents are in disagreement then the broader one rules,
but none of the documents but the OTN agreement and any document you
specifically sign with Oracle are the legal agreements. Everything else is
simply marketing materials without legal binding.
If you even go to the downloads page for cluster ware it states specifically
that cluster ware is covered under the cluster ware license.
Nowhere does a legal document state that it is free and unencumbered from
other requirements.

Sorry I meant the License Agreement you agree to when you download the
software versus the Usage specified in the Oracle 11g and 12c docs for
the software. Those appear to be in conflict as far as scope.
