Surely a non-compete was involved?

It has not happened immediately. Also, AFAIK they were not in USA but somewhere in Europe.
Depends on the region you're in but non-competes vary wildly in enforceability. They mainly survive on the threat of incurring costs of a legal fight rather than likelihood of actual follow through enforcement.
