I've now received a new NDA from PIE and as I'm not well versed in NDA's
I would like a second opinion on it's text, consequently, I'd like to
post a copy of the NDA to the list (it's about 10k long), are there any
major objections to this ? I have asked the permission of PIE to post
it and they modified it slightly from original when I stressed that I
wanted it to develop a SANE driver and release the drivers under GPL.
So far, PIE seem to have been very positive, a few quotes :-
> The aim of this agreement is just to ensure that the document that we will
> send to you will not be distributed to anybody else without our consent.
> Anybody who wish to have a copy of the same document will have to ask us,
> and we will provide it to him after he signs an identical Non Disclosure
> Agreement.
>
> The drivers or other software that you will develop using this
> documentation, can be distributed freely.
They would also like information back from me about how other vendors
deal with NDA's and SANE etc. In response to my previous mail, many
people mentioned HP, Mustek etc. for this I have two questions :-
1) Could other people respond with details about how other suppliers
divulge information.
2) Does anybody have any objections to me quoting some of their mail
back to PIE ?
Sorry to keep on about this but I think it's important.
Regards,
Dave Restall.
