Unclear to me.
There's a followup email in the same thread saying that Jobs was cool with other companies hiring anyone that approached them directly, but not cool with companies doing "systematic solicitation" - https://twitter.com/TechEmails/status/1402650278105583620/photo/1 https://twitter.com/TechEmails/status/1402650278105583620/ph...
Even though the person is paraphrasing what he said, doesn't that make sense? It's scummy and illegal to block a move once a person has decided to switch companies - but it doesn't seem to be the case here. It may be ok to target a specific person that you think may be a great fit.
However, is it ok to systematically target entire teams(regardless of whether or not this actually happened)? The answer to that may still be yes, but I haven't made up my mind on that yet.
