schestowitz | Hi Steven, | May 31 23:30 |
schestowitz | Usually the request for a NDA-type thing comes before and not after you disclosure the information. Therefore I never committed to secrecy (I would never do that, nor would I allow PR agencies to contact me). | May 31 23:30 |
schestowitz | If IBM is briefing bloggers and wishes not be identified as a source, this can help substantiate, for example, some of the whispers against Groklaw. Transparent disclosure is acceptable. | May 31 23:30 |
schestowitz | I notice from the deal that it too is an NDA-type deal, which raises some questions. I do not support Neon | May 31 23:30 |
