(even if it is to bash Freepers which is fun)

from wikipedia :

"Jobs and several Apple employees including Jef Raskin visited Xerox PARC in December 1979 to see the Xerox Alto. Xerox granted Apple engineers three days of access to the PARC facilities in return for US$1 million in pre-IPO Apple stock. Jobs was immediately convinced that all future computers would use a GUI, and development of a GUI began for the Apple Lisa."

Xerox was well compensated and nothing was "stolen"


p.s. Steve Jobs doesn't whine
