Just to clarify something here. Job is correct so I'm not disagreeing with that, but simply wanted to point out this part:

" purchase of any Oracle software license or Support contract"

The OP highlighted "EMGC is free to use in combination with licensed database installations". Other than the fact that we're mixing product names since it's now CLOUD Control as opposed to Grid Control (and as Job mentioned there are changes in the licensing between those two products), it's not specific to customers that have DATABASE installations. It's "any Oracle software license or Support contract".

I meant to add that people tend not to read it because it is buried at the back of the licensing guide, instead of upfront where it would make the most sense.

I posted this last month I believe. It is in the licensing guide, but people tend not to read it:

10 Base Enterprise Manager Functionality The base installation of Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c includes several features free of charge with the purchase of any Oracle software license or Support contract. The release of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c makes several licensing changes. Some features that were part of licensed packs are now included in the base functionality. This chapter outlines the list of features that are included with the base functionality of Oracle Enterprise Manager:
