I would hope that, in cases like this, a number of employees that have access to the source code bring it with them to allow the setup of a competitor. I'm aware this probably crosses various copyright and other boundaries in law, but these kinds of acquisitions need to have something that pushes back against them. I believe they're a net negative for society and society is meant to be setup to have disincentives for behaviour that results in net negatives. Ultimately, what appears to be Bending Spoons' strategy should be disallowed by law. At least some time frame like a vesting schedule whereby at least x% of employees must be retained for y amount of time. Might seriously slow down acquisitions, but that won't cause me any sleepless nights.
