They're not "licences", read the agreement very carefully. They're a 
support&subscription agreement.

You can quite easily run RH EL/AS/whatever without paying. Just RH 
wont support you.

Now, presuming the only thing Oracle care about is that you run 
RH/whatever, ie that they care about the platform, not whether you're 
paid up to RedHat, that might be good enough for you.
