Interesting, AWS terms of service seem more reasonable, allowing you to perform benchmarks at will, but requiring that you disclose to them the methodology you used to perform the benchmark. Seems like a more reasonable clause while still preserving the ability to respond to hostile or inaccurate benchmarks.

Here's some background from 2008 on benchmarking clauses and their precariousness: https://corporate.findlaw.com/business-operations/n-y-case-calls-software-license-speech-restrictions-into.html https://corporate.findlaw.com/business-operations/n-y-case-c...
- ksec 5y agoI think the way AWS does it are great. I understand why some companies doesn't like benchmarks, mainly because it is subject to marketing spin and picking specifics without context. But giving out exact methodology so others could repeat the test seems fair. Basically the whole benchmarks should be open source if you do intend to publish it.
