Can Oracle/Microsoft actually enforce "no benchmark clauses," as in could they take you to court and win?

There’s a reddit thread benchmarking SQL Server vs Postgres where the all named references had to be removed IIRC.

> Edit: I'm told this proprietary database vendor dislikes users publishing benchmark results comparing their software to F/OSS databases.

That doesn't really sound like they were forced to do anything.
