This isn't limited to commercial software. Until its recent relicensing, GPL FreeRTOS had this turd:

Clause 2:

FreeRTOS may not be used for any competitive or comparative purpose, including the publication of any form of run time or compile time metric, without the express permission of Real Time Engineers Ltd. (this is the norm within the industry and is intended to ensure information accuracy).

Wouldn't a major usage restriction that make it incompatable with other GPL software (and possibly make it tagged as non-free by FSF and OSI)?
