John, you are absolutely right! Sometimes, once a company has been bought and sold, the previous owner(s) may not even be allowed to ever start another business in the same market. It all depends on how the lawyers word the signed agreement(s) and whether or not the signed document(s) is/are acceptable to the seller(s).
It's possible that Doug may never again touch Window-Eyes, but, if he so desires and has sufficient financial backing, he could CREATE A BRAND-NEW accessible something and name it whatever he cares! A case in point: After Arkenstone, developer of Openbook died, its previous owner created Bookshare! Law is a donkey, and it does a poor job of riding itself to town! Looks good on paper, but a trillion loopholes for any person who cares to give it a shake.
