Um,

what if a company sells itself and all it's assets including the Oracle license to another company. Does it then have buy new licenses?

What if the company sells just a division to another company, does the software license go with the division or is it somehow magically stuck with the original parent company?

What if the company outsources their IT operations, does the software license go, stay, or vanish? The work is still being done for the original company, the work is run by another entity, was there a transfer or not?

What if a company just changes its name and moves down the street, is it the same company? What if they lie?

The "law" has to address these scenarios and more.
