The SCO NDA has been posted here before. It is worded in such a way that a person who signs it would be precluded from ever "disclosing" to anyone the basic procedures and implementations that they see regardless of whether the code is actually infringing or not. So if SCO shows you a module dealing with multi-processor support, you wouldn't be allowed to "disclose" anything involving multi-processing code to anyone, meaning you couldn't write your own code to do the same thing (multi-processor support), even if multi-processing is an industry standard accomplished by multiple vendors in multiple ways. So basically, it restricts what code you can ever work on in the future...

If this is true, then its patently unenforceable. An NDA may no restrict an individuals ability to ply their trade, unless the said individual is compensated to not ply it elsewhere... so SCO's NDA is just another unenforceable intimidation tactic.

I believe it. Anyone who would sign such an NDA, if your characterization is truly accurate (and I take your word for it) is an idiot.

I find the SCO executive staff beneath contempt.
