This isn't a bogus "SCO is successor to Santa Cruz." This is for real: Oracle really did acquire Sun Micro Systems "lock stock and barrel". So their wording is probably (ianal) legally correct.

Whether it fools Judge Alsup is a different (legal) question.

They don't want testimony that there was an
actual decision by the company at the highest
level to waive their right to sue.

If there were such a decision, Oracle would
be blocked from suing successfully now, in
that it inherited from Sun the good and the bad.

They don't care if the story is that Schwartz
was a wimp who didn't dare sue. "There is a new
sheriff in town," Michael Jacobs told the jury.
A stronger guy, is the implication, and that
is the story they want told.

If Sun made a bindable decision not to sue, that
is a serious problem for Oracle.

On proof reading. Keep in mind this was filed
in the wee hours after a long day in court, after
weeks of not enough sleep and under a pressing
deadline, after emergency research and strategy
sessions to figure out what to do about Mr.
Schwartz when they saw his name on the list.
