| |
Hi Jonathan,
while reading the process documentation, I noticed this reference to the Linux Foundation NDA program in Documentation/process/3.Early-stage.rst:
-->
That said, there are also cases where a company legitimately cannot disclose its plans early in the development process. Companies with experienced kernel developers may choose to proceed in an open-loop manner on the assumption that they will be able to avoid serious integration problems later. For companies without that sort of in-house expertise, the best option is often to hire an outside developer to review the plans undera non-disclosure agreement. The Linux Foundation operates an NDA program designed to help with this sort of situation; more information can be found at:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/NDA_program
This kind of review is often enough to avoid serious problems later on without requiring public disclosure of the project.

The link is dead; internet search only showed some references from meeting minutes in 2008, but nothing more since then.
Has this LF NDA program simply been phased out?
If so, I will provide a clean-up patch to remove this historic reference.
Lukas
