Just be careful about NDA's that are worded like non-compete clauses. If you read the NDA and clear and happy with it then your ok. If you read it and don't fully understand the potentual outcomes or your not happy then get somebody who knows that area or law to go over it. Not aware that you can't just upload the NDA publicly to be gone over, though may not be looked upon positivly but when NDA's need a NDA then you know things are messed up. Might be nice to have a collection of NDA's or some more standard ones that have been fully legaly audited and known. Instead companies seem to reinvent wheels and add on spikes and bells to there own gain. [EDIT ADD] Nothing stopping you doing your own NDA template that your happy with and offering that instead and also in that having your own NDA to cover what they pay you or anything you don't want made public. You may have your own tool-set you use for development that you use in work. Something to think about, if it's important to you then what protects you from them. It's about trust and if they want you to sign a statement of trust then why can't they. Rememebr companies will mostly insist its trivial and insist you sign it there and then, if you do it to them would they sign just as fast. Thats how you measure trust sometimes.
