I believe the 16 free licenses offer is only providing access to the Full Support and Maintenance Support. There is no indication they are planning to include the ELS for free (which also was never provided by CentOS either).
Here is what I see on my developer subscription:

I think that 'Extended Update Support' is providing the latest phase of EL life.
