Right, it's pretty clear elsewhere that it's per core. But the section you quoted doesn't clarify anything, it's actually contradictory and bizarre that it's present.
Only if Oracle is allowed to redefine the industry standard meaning of MCM. Read literally it does not imply per core pricing, in fact quite the opposite.
An 8 core Zen would count as 1. An 8 core Zen 2 would count as 2. A 2 core Pentium D would count as 2, but Core 2 Duo would count as 1 and a Core 2 Quad as 2. A 64 core EPYC would count as 9.

What I quoted does clarify (although in a convoluted way) that it is multi-core.
