As I see it, the NDA is between the OP and the company, if the OP
decides to talk to a third party, ie this list, then the the third
party cannot possibly be liable. It is the same as if the OP found a
random person on the street and talked to them, that random person
would also not be liable.
My 2c, Tim.

add a little public humiliation to this.
Also I would like to say that this is the one and only time that
this
happens. Next time, the original poster will face the legal
consequences. I
hope this is crystal clear to every one reading.
I am mixed with this.
On one hand this is a _very_ good reminder for us people that this
list in
fact public and not controlled by the senders. Everything you
write
_will_
show up on the whole internet and will be pretty
hard to suppress,
its
not
only these archives but also copies in
search-engines caches and
other
web
archives... (Not even talking about peoples
personal archive in
their
in-
boxes.)
Yup, I forgot to mention public copies of the archives in my post.
On the other hand it might be that then lawyers
come after you,
Marc, or
the
linux audio consortium as you are running the list and could
therefore
be
responsible for stuff published there. Even if we
"sign" some
paragraphs
on
subscription to indemnify you in case of trouble, it could still
be you
who
gets the first letters from lawyers and you then have to sent your
own
lawyers
after us...
I don't know what the American laws have to say about this... IANAL
anyways...
Unless this list runs on some anonymous server
somewhere in the
technology-
pendant of the third world and there are no names
connected, I
would
follow
this bidding (and every following one when lawyers and technology
are
involved) and only ask for some donations to either the linux
audio
consortium
for technical expenses or for charity projects.
I will follow the bidding. Just wanted to make the request and
decision
public, and eventually start an interesting debate on this matter.
Everyone
grab your pop corn :)
Of course when people just want their own rude
posts deleted, I
would
definitely not do it.
Indeed.
Cheers,
