Nonsense.
The GPL says "if you distribute copies ... you must give recipients
all the rights that you have". Clearly then, if you do not distribute
copies then you need not give out the source either. Similarly, if you
being under NDA only distribute copies to other parties also under NDA,
the GPL does not release them from their other obligations, which do
in fact prevent them from distributing source _or_ binaries beyond any
who have not signed the proper paperwork.
That's not to say that I enjoy NDAs, but I also do not see them at odds
with the GPL either in spirit or in letter.
