Yes, @alexander_frit in his previous reply gave you some links to look at.
Here is a good one from the Oracle web site: https://www.oracle.com/a/ocom/docs/corporate/oracle-software-licensing-basics.pdf
The important quote is on page 8 of the presentation:
Oracle Technology Licensing:
• Add-on products such as the Enterprise Options and Management Packs must match the number of licenses of the associated product
This is stating what other members of the Community have been telling you. If you license an Oracle Database Instance with a specific metric, then all of the Option Packs on that database instance must be licensed with the same metric. Going further, if a server has multiple Oracle Database Instances, each of the instances must be licensed with the same metric.

Used metric for Oracle Database Enterprise and its Options and Management packs must be the same.
Following two documents give a good overview about Oracle licensing.

"Oracle Technology Licensing:
• Add-on products such as the Enterprise Options and Management Packs must match the number of licenses of the associated product "
https://www.oracle.com/assets/databaselicensing-070584.pdf
You can also search for the licensing information of each Oracle DB version.
Example: 11g R2 https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e47877.pdf
"All the Oracle Database options can be purchased with Oracle Database Enterprise
Edition. Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) is included with Oracle
Database Standard Edition. You cannot purchase any options with Oracle Database
Standard Edition One or Oracle Express Edition. The Personal Edition includes all
options except Oracle RAC at no additional cos"

You can't mix the metrics for an Oracle DB Enterprise Edition and its options and management packs on one installation.
Both belong together and the DB product is necessary to use the options and management packs.
If you license your Oracle DB Enterprise Edition installation on a device by Processor metric, you have to license the used options and management packs on that installation by Processor metric too.

Jumping back into this, the actual Oracle license rules say explicitly "the number of licenses for the Programs listed below in column A must match the number of licenses of the associated Program listed in column B."
This thread is saying the license metric must match.
However, page 44 explicitly states the number. This seems to infer that if you own DBEE Processor qty = X, then the number of Option cores you buy cannot be less than X.
