    It would seem this should be easy to work around. Simply assign the worst possible benchmark value since test cannot be conducted and make annotation as to why. Infinite time to run a query since benchmarking requires sneakernet approval from commercial provider, or some such. Put open source in the best possible light and highlight the DeWitt clause at the same time.

  Have a look at Google Cloud Platform's ToS: "Benchmarking. Customer may conduct benchmark tests of the Services (each a "Test"). Customer may only publicly disclose the results of such Tests if it (a) obtains Google's prior written consent, (b) provides Google all necessary information to replicate the Tests, and (c) allows Google to conduct benchmark tests of Customer's publicly available products or services and publicly disclose the results of such tests." https://cloud.google.com/terms/service-terms https://cloud.google.com/terms/service-terms

    I thought that people regularly ignored things like EULAs without running into legal problems. Who even reads them? I guess you'd get in trouble when you go to publish the results, but we probably would have heard about that by now if it ever happened with Google.
