I doubt that it is a typo. In my opinion, the newer pricing model is much better than the previous pricing model. The whole idea of licensing based on CPU speed (in part) wasn't a good idea. Doubling your CPU speed did not equate to doubling your performance, so why should one pay twice as much? While Oracle still isn't cheap (it's not free) it's much better than it used to be. It's obvious that Oracle was listening at least a little bit when the world started crying foul!

Just my 3.14159265 cents worth,
