Thanks Mladen. This reflects a change since last time I looked at the clusterware license, and you are absolutely correct. Confirmation at http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/DBLIC/editions.htm#BABHIAAF which states:
"
Oracle Clusterware
Oracle Clusterware provides cluster membership and high availability
monitoring and failover. Oracle Clusterware may be used to protect any
application (restarting or failing over the application in the event of
a failure) on any server, free of charge. Oracle will provide support
for Clusterware only if the server is running an Oracle product, which
may include Oracle Linux or Oracle Solaris, that is also under Oracle
support.
