That's absolutely true.  In fact Apple sued Steve over it and refrained from
pursuing the lawsuit after an agreement of swapping of technology, plus the
assurance that no more people would be taken from Apple.  I believe that Apple
has access to NeXT trade secrets, to make sure that none of *their* 
*proprietary* (ha, ha :-) technologies are stolen.
