That is the amusing part! The agreement explicitly excludes engineers.

From the article:

"3. Additionally there are _no_ restrictions at _any_ level for engineering candidates."

(emphasis theirs)

This was about sales and management.

That's extremely interesting, but how does it jive with the emails about the Safari team? The Safari team probably has some management, but I assume it does not have a sales department.

Why was this downvoted? The discussion in these articles has all seemed to ignore the fact that engineers were explicitly excluded from the agreements.

Wow, this whole hubbub about them keeping down engineer salaries is completely disingenuous if that line applies across the board.

Because it's wrong? That line is in the "Restricted Hiring" part of that document. The "Do Not Cold Call" section didn't include that caveat.
