I'm surprised these clauses manage to prevent benchmarks. Surely someone with no Oracle contract can still publish them? Leak a benchmark, benchmark on someone else's system, whatever. It shouldn't be too hard to publish a benchmark for which this clause can't be enforced.

I find that with contracts in general, lawyers will throw in all sorts of clauses that may or may not be enforceable and hope they stick. That's why they add something to get you to agree "if one part is found to be invalid or unenforceable all the other parts are still valid".

>>> if one part is found to be invalid or unenforceable all the other parts are still valid

Also an invalid clause. They don't get to decide what is valid or not, that's up to the judge.

They're called severability clauses. Courts frequently uphold them independently of finding other unenforceable or invalid clauses. Any contract written by a lawyer worth their salt has one and it's usually based on wording that has been tested in a court.

I am not a lawyer, this isn't legal advice.
