:) How should i know. This is VIA.

They also made it GPL specific. Under that linux addendum of theirs, 
you're allowed to do everything you want with any other free software 
license.

That suggests that this is plain stupidity and that the people who wrote 
that document were told some very superficial things about the GPL, and 
set out to mitigate its main directive.

Right, the times i was handed an nda directly i always got handed both 
standard documents. The NDA itself pretty much tells you you're not 
allowed to disclose anything, the addendum tells you that you're allowed 
to disclose everything, except that bit with gpled code VIA handed you 
directly.
