I don't mind, as long as it isn't much longer than a few megabytes.<br>

Some (e.g. Intel) allow you to use the docs to write GPL code. Some<br>
|
|
feel they must explicitly have the above paragraph in the NDA. Others<br>
|
|
don't.<br>

Some of the stubborn vendors (e.g. Diamond, Netscape) were<br>
|
|
contractually bound not to divulge specifics of what they were<br>
|
|
selling. (Diamond had not designed the card they were stubborn about<br>
|
|
themselves. Netscape can't ship Java or Encryption under NPL. )<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Others are just stubborn. The trick seems to be to find the right<br>
|
|
person inside the organization who will just put the docs on the<br>
|
|
copier and ship them to you. Don't get those in trouble by publishing<br>
|
|
what you got, and telling everybody who you got it from.<br>
