Indeed! ACT insists that all our development on GPL'ed stuff be unencumbered
by NDA's. One advantage of that is that we need to maintain only one
branch of development, and when we distribute to a customer, they get
everything we have at the current date, nothing ever needs to be held back
for NDA reasons.
Actually it sounds like ACT, given this policy, will have an *easier* time
avoiding the problem of big chunks being held back than Redhat, despite
jeff's loud concerns :-)
