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.

How would they get the software legally?

Oracle would probably sue them for piracy or something. If you bought it, they would probably say you violated the agreement and no longer have a valid license.

Not saying it's right, but since it's commercial software, they can probably play some tricks. It's one of among many reasons to use commerical software where possible.

docker pull sath89/oracle-12c?

In sane countries licenses don't have magic powers. I'm allowed to publish a benchmark no matter what Oracle things.

Now I am intrigued. Do you have a benchmark you could share?
