Did you just publish the result of a benchmark or performance comparison test you ran to establish the difference in $/performance ratio between competitors?

If so, I have bad news for your license compliance...

Nope, I read the manufacturers published specifications for their equipment and looked up the pricing on publicly accessible websites.

And you can get pricing from any VARs website such as CDW.com

Good try though.

That is a performance comparison test; it's just not one that requires access to the hardware.

Their performance test, not mine. I'm going off the numbers they cited.

That's a good thing to warn people of, but feels like a complete red flag in a license. If a company isn't willing to stand by their product in reviews, then that should be a reason to disqualify their product from consideration.
