No you're correct. Currently, to download the current Oracle 11.2g, one must
agree to:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/standard-license-152015.html

which contains:

You may not:

- disclose results of any program benchmark tests without our prior consent.

Not having such frustrating license terms is also what makes PostgreSQL a
nicer alternative!
