| said by Shadow01  :How about paying them what it takes to get them to stay? Paying them to stay means nothing if they were working as a contracted hire. If the terms that say the contract is up, then unless they renegotiate, you don't work for them any more. If the work you were there to do is done, then there's no reason to contract again.
Simply put: NCAs are in place to keep you from taking all the knowledge one company hired you for, to another company - who can take advantage of the fact that all the kinks have been worked out already.
Also - non-competes usually also have a non-disclosure.
And since Papermaster is an exec, he has a bit more insight on the inner workings of IBM. While the same methods probably wouldn't work at Apple, sometimes knowing HOW your competition does things is almost as important as knowing WHAT they're doing. Which is why you'll notice on a lot of internal company documents the legalese that states that "this document is property of so-and-so and any use outside the company is prohibited"
