- smileybarry 4y agoI really doubt Windows, Office and SQL Server didn't already have NDAs. If you have to sign NDAs to get access to super-secret AV APIs, then looking at the actual source code must require one.
- nixgeek 4y agoNon-competes are entirely different to non-disclosure agreements. Someone can be covered by an NDA in California or Washington, the non-compete conversation is about whether an employee can go work for a competitor. Even if they move to a competitor they can’t disclose details from the prior work which is covered by an NDA.
- olliej 4y agoNDAs are common everywhere - and they're also perfectly reasonable.
