Thanks for the comment! You are correct in that the software is downloadable. In fact, all of Oracle's software is freely available for download, installation and use, with or without a support agreement. Perhaps you should take a look at the last paragraph on page 3 of 19 from the technical support policies and we can discuss its interpretation in person. As a supplement, take a look at this post. Thanks!

On the question “Can I upgrade without support?” and your answer “No. Nor can you download and apply patches.”.

It’s not entirely true. You can’t download patches and patchsets; but you can upgrade to the next base version. For instance you can upgrade from 11.1.0.2 to 11.2.0.1. No support contract is required for this since base are downloadable without a CSI#.
