This is a moot point.

If Adaptec has been foolish enough to bind their own hands in this 
manner then they have demonstrated a serious lack of judgment.

Consider: if Adaptec is bound to the sort of NDAs that you suggest, 
they'd be unable to sell to the military or NASA or other big 
institutions with R&D departments that would want exactly what Theo is 
asking for himself.

If true, it's just another nail in Adaptec's coffin.

Cheers,
