NDAs - ANY KNOWN RULES?

NDAs - ANY KNOWN RULES?

[hermann pitton]

Hi,

such stuff causes a lot of troubles since long.

Are there any rules, or can everybody go on as some sort of freelancer
exclusively on such? I don't like it!

Cheers,
Hermann

In short, the Linux Foundation can negotiate a reasonable NDA for you to 
sign, and they may be able to show you relevant documents as a freelancer 
under a reasonable and standardized contract.

Thanks for your explanations,

but I know for sure it does't work.

then.. do you have an actual question or are you just trying to troll?

and yes there have been several such trolls lately on this list, and so
far your postings have all the signs of being just another one..


DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS

Hello,

thanks ;), you might help me to decide if somebody abuses a list already
for free advertising or is still contributing.

Sorry, my question is, where one can look up if the pinning of a newer
chip we support is also only under NDA available. Previously often at
least that was public. (examples now saa7131e, tda10046a, tda8275ac1)

If I don't find anything on the web, whom I have to ask that question,
the NDA holder, the manufacturer or do we have a list, because everybody
knows that this can be helpful to identify hardware differences and this
question is always asked already?

Thanks,
Hermann

both are good choices, the NDA holder may have the right contacts for
this, since if you ask a manufacturer you often get "the person who
picks up the phone", who might have no idea what you're talking about
and just gives you a BS answer to get rid of you. The NDA holder often
knows the right people...
