People are (correctly) upset when Apple, Facebook, Google etc have anti-poaching agreements. Then whenever developers switch companies, and similar features are announced, this is the inevitable response. Either employees should be able to move around freely, spreading the knowledge and skillsets in problem domains or they should not be able to do so. The legal frameworks are patents and code copyright. I'd like to see patents go away in general, but the abuse that is alleged here should be examined All that said, the statement here that "apple steals people" is fundamentally and ethnically wrong. People are not owned by corporations.
