Just from reading the title of the article I knew that the
issue had to do with patents product software or ideas; not be permitted to be
shared or accessed by other companies not authorized by Apple Inc.
Basically what i got form the reading is that Steve Job doesn't
want any company or any partner company to steal or take any content or info or
etc that was not given permission to in the license. Job is basically doing to
other companies what Microsoft does to Apple. Job is just making sure other
companies use what was given to them and nothing more. There was also a
conflict about other companies trying to or recruiting employees of Apple Inc,
and I understand where job is coming from on that note because that is not a
fair business model. I don’t believe that if someone has the right to do
business with you and then turn your back and go hire some of you employees and
research groups. It is all a business issue that Jobs was trying to enforce,
which states that it is against Apples' policy to hire from their groups or to
steal/take info or etc that were not authorized in the agreement. One other
thing that Jobs was stating is that companies that work with them need to know
the difference between a license and a patient. Some of the main issues came
forth because people were not operating according to their licenses and some
acted like they had bought the whole patent. I feel that Jobs and the Apple
team were right and totally justified. Plus I think Jobs is a good businessman
all round.
