>He wasn't being paid by Apple while he was working on NeXT though (at least I don't believe).

He resigned on the same day he told them about NeXT, which had already had a good amount of work put into its planning (including poaching several apple engineers). I think it's reasonable to assume that before he resigned, he was being paid.



IIRC, there was a lawsuit which was settled. Check old Infoworld or other traderags.


it's hard to pin any actual evidence that he used company resources to plan/execute the NeXT startup though.
