This is a DeWitt clause, and DeWitt clauses should be illegal
Contract and license clauses that forbid benchmark publication (unless the vendor likes them) are often called DeWitt clauses. The clause was originally created to squelch database research being performed by Dr. David DeWitt. These should be illegal everywhere, but Oracle (their original creator) rigorously enforces them. These clauses harm society by making it impossible to publish truthful information about software.
