Actually, I believe it is even more restrictive than that.
It doesn't matter how many CPU's are in the machine, what matters is how many CPU's the machine is capable of holding.
So what they are really licensing is not the # of CPU's, but the class of the machine.
Try digging in the archives, this has been discussed recently.

We've licensed servers with less cpu's than they hold. According to our Oracle rep, this is fine. Number of actual cpu's only. Of course they like to check up to make sure you haven't added any recently ;)
