I obviously don't know the details there, but I'd say there's a big difference: Job's developers got the 50% they wanted (and Jobs cut a fair deal with the other company), while the guy you know agreed on something and then got something else. The latter is something that I believe is unethical, as it's changing the cards on the table after making a deal, and not even telling the other party.
- andyidsinga 13y agobut that was my point -- It doesn't sound like the developers got the 50% they wanted at all - the post goes through the math of how it was made to look like 50%.
- micheseco 13y agoyeah, but my point was that in this case Jobs didn't change the cards on the table like saying "we agreed on 50% of the revenues, now it is 50% of the profits after tax" (I'm making a random example, hope to make my point), while in the case of the other dev they changed the percentage of the equity to a percentage of the pool of shares for the employees... to me it's kinda different at least ethically
