Oops. Just to be clear. I don't believe that Google had
anything but veto power over new lawsuits. I do believe
that they had veto power and choose not to exercise it
regarding the lawsuit against Apple. That sort of veto
power seems reasonable while an acquisition is closing.
(Basically, you've agreed to buy company X for price Y and
are requiring that it not make appreciable changes before
the acquisition closes.)

I sort of thought that PJ was thinking I was naive. I could
be wrong though. That said, I'm pretty sure that there was
a lot of coordination between Google and Motorola prior to
the deal closing. Realistically, contracts can't cover
everything - and closing an unprofitable division Google
wanted to keep would be suboptimal.
