One of the things I really appreciated when I worked for Mozilla was their legal department's policy that Mozilla employees not sign over-reaching NDAs [0]. Some of the points they insisted on: * It has to be limited in scope. It cannot just be "everything we give or tell you is confidential information." * Confidential information has to be clearly marked or indicated. * It has to be limited in duration. Not, "You are required to take this information to your grave." If your project does not have lawyers backing you up, you might not know to ask for these things, or might not think you have the negotiating leverage to get them. But I think they make a real difference to a developer working on an open-source project, and I encourage anyone presented with an NDA to insist on them.
