发布Oracle和SQL Server性能测试是否违反许可? [英] Is it against license to publish Oracle and SQL Server performance test?

问题描述

我想对Oracle和SQL Server中的空间索引进行性能测试.我想将其包含在我的科学硕士论文中.发布这种结果是否违反了dbms的许可?

I would like to make a performance test on spatial index in Oracle and SQL Server. I would like to include it in my Master of Science work. Is it against dbms's license to publish that kind of results ?

也许有人已经遇到过这种问题?我不喜欢挖掘无聊的许可证内容；).

Maybe someone have already met that kind of problem ? I am not keen on digging through boring license stuff ;).

推荐答案

标准许可证您同意从Oracle技术网(OTN)下载软件时确实声明不允许公开基准测试.

The standard license you agree to when you download software from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) does state that you're not allowed to disclose benchmarks.

You may not: 
<<list of things you cannot do>>
- disclose results of any program benchmark tests without our prior consent. 

Microsoft的许可证(例如旧版SQL Server 7.0许可证)通常具有相似的条款

Microsoft's licenses (such as an older SQL Server 7.0 license) generally have similar terms

性能或基准测试.你 可能不会透露以下任何一项的任何基准测试的结果 适用于Microsoft SQL Server，Microsoft的服务器软件或客户端软件 Exchange Server或Microsoft Proxy Server到没有第三方的任何第三方 微软的事先书面批准.

Performance or Benchmark Testing. You may not disclose the results of any benchmark test of either the Server Software or Client Software for Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, or Microsoft Proxy Server to any third party without Microsoft's prior written approval.

大多数其他大公司在其许可协议中都使用了类似的条款.您需要与您讨论与您的案例相关的许可条款是否实际上是法律上可强制执行的(特别是在学术活动中)，或者两家公司是否曾认真考虑过就硕士论文发表提起诉讼.大学的法律部门(和/或拥有您所使用软件许可的人的法律部门).实际上，我认为两家公司都不大可能会认真考虑以不利的基准结果起诉没有钱的硕士生.博客作者和会议主持人始终在论坛上发布基准测试结果，这些结果更有可能吸引(或排斥)潜在客户并且不受起诉.

Most other large companies put similar terms in their license agreements. Whether those license terms are actually enforcable as a matter of law in your case (particularly where this is an academic exercise) and whether either company would ever seriously consider suing over the publication of a Masters thesis is something that you would need to discuss with your university's legal department (and/or the legal department of whoever owns the licenses for the software that you're using). As a practical matter, I would think it's extraordinarily unlikely that either company would ever seriously consider suing a masters student with no money over unfavorable benchmark results. Bloggers and conference presenters publish benchmark results all the time in forums that are much more likely to attract (or repel) potential customers and aren't sued.
