That is some spurious reasoning.

Partitioning is a feature that is licensed separately from the basid database software, and that is made clear.

There is no licensing pertaining to the use of 10046 traces.

There are a number of things available on MetaLink that are not documented anywhere else by Oracle, but you are free to use them. Scripts, papers, howto papers, etc.

They may not be supported (use them at your own risk, don't open a TAR asking how to use it, etc), but they are placed there to use.
