I've just realized - where you say: "Coghead?s new owner SAP will impose a lock-out from April 30, leaving all its current customers suddenly in the impossible position of having around eight weeks to completely rewrite all their applications on an entirely new platform." That's not true. SAP didn't acquire the customers, ergo it can't lock them out. SAP acquired some IP plus a fistful of engineers, that's a different matter altogether. That's what makes this acquisition different and an example of how risk changes in a sale situation where the acquiror isn't interested in the customers but in cherry picking assets.
