A bad benchmark is something everyone can understand and use as criteria to disqualify a technology.

A license that prohibits a public benchmark is something only a few people care about.

Having seen hordes of developers on IRC, Reddit, and HN develop outdated gut reactions that they still invoke years after the fact has led me to believe that benchmark prohibition is easily worth it.

This is absurd. All databases, at some point in time, run into scaling and performance issues. Documentation by blogging and performance metrics are the only guiding light of sanity we have when these hard problems hit your app.
