A company absolutely can sue someone for violating the terms of service. For huge amounts of money, too, and it might be both you and your organization who have to pay. In the US it would probably be at least considered a contract violation & a copyright violation, not just libel. Contract law has a lot of teeth, and copyright violations have massive statutory damages. Oracle has a massive legal department; they can probably find a thousand other laws it potentially violates without blinking an eye.
I really don't like DeWitt clauses, I think they're horrific. But there's a reason people generally avoid fighting them in court - it's very expensive with an uncertain outcome.
