It would be nice to see you list out 12 scenarios and show the upgrade cost/use. Say I have a 16 core system, a 20 core system, a 24 core system, licensed different ways with new and upgrade (SA and non-SA) paths being taken.

It should definitely say "by the CAL". Aaron is totally right – major typo on my part there. It should definitely say “by the CAL”.

If you buy SQL Server 2012 licensed by the core, SQL Server *will* use all the cores. The 20-core limit comes into effect when you use VL or other pre-pidded builds where it is known that SQL Server is actually using CAL licensing (and you can only get these builds through SA, if you had CAL licensing on a previous version of SQL Server Enterprise that is still covered by SA).

While this won't affect everyone, it certainly will catch a few people offguard as the Microsoft licensing calculus is already tough enough to understand.
