So they poached Apple's Safari team to build Chrome and then they poached their iPhone team to build Android.


Sorry, Android was well underway before this agreement was in force. And I can tell you key members of the original Safari team are still at Apple 20 years on.


I get that “poaching” is the common term for this practice but we should recognize it for what it is: the free market for talent. Corporations don’t own people.
