As I say, we never ever tolerate NDA's that cover GPL'ed code in any
form, it is one of our strong corporate policies. It is one thing to
have a general agreement that development will not be released till
it is in reasonable shape (something that often makes sense anyway),
and quite another to have a formal NDA prohibiting distribution.
