Seems pretty cut and dried. The software license went with the other part of the firm, and not them.

  It would appear so, although I'm surprised RBS and Complex Systems couldn't come to an agreement given that (I presume) RBS wants to continue using the software and Complex wants to get paid for people using it.

    It's likely that the injunction is being used as leverage by Complex Systems - RBS now has what amounts to a hard deadline with a hard failure condition, rather than being able to accumulate damages that will only potentially be paid after an appeal, etc. while keeping their business up and running.

    It seems like the license was assignable at no cost to the parent company, they just didn't actually do that because they were in a rush to sell. RBS was arguing that no, they did assign it, because of reasons X, Y, and Z so they shouldn't have to pay anything.
