This rumor forgets that one of the primary ways of keeping employees at a software company is through stock options. If a company is not publically traded, these lose a lot of their value for keeping employees, and the company would have to come up with an acceptable alternative. I really discount this "private" rumor, because it would appear disastrous for keeping the key programmers.
