"Perhaps it's just me, but I'm having a difficult time understanding Mark Shuttleworth, the Ubuntu founder, when he figured that openly trying to recruit developers from other Linux projects was a good idea. Doing so in a mailing list in the manner that he did was, to be brutally honest, in very poor taste. As luck would have it, the response has not been too exciting thus far."

He was morally RIGHT to try to poach the SuSe developers after the stupid stunt they pulled. That's what Capitalism is all about... and OSS is the key to employees working for more than just a paycheck and not able to adapt to the moral or ethical directions their companies take. It was a great shot across Novell's bow... They're trying to "have their cake" with Microsoft.. Somebody CAN and WILL relieve them of the COMMUNITIES developers if the bosses step out of line. That is a great "grown up" moment for OSS!!!
Samba was created before Suse had anything to do with it... it can go away just as fast... the beauty of GPL is that PROGRAMMERS are worth more that the "IP" of the source code... you can't seperate the two... like all the other tech companies (MS, SCO, SUN, JBoss, etx..) do and keep your company. Expertise and experience is the job qualifications, and there are more company "benifits" than just a paycheck... something OTHER than just making a buck.
