Seems it's in the license agreement. What's unusual is that actually matters here. If someone tried to prevent benchmarking Postgresql by licensing terms, someone else would promptly ignore them and do it anyways, since Postgresql is free to download. Oracle licenses are very expensive, so anybody who has access to it also has money and a lot to lose by flouting license terms.


It is “free” to use as a developer, just not in production.
