I understand that certain fortunate individuals among us are privy to
information that they've agreed not to divulge, and that's cool.  However,
once the info becomes public knowledge, will you folks be able to discuss
what you had been told in the first place?  That is, if the information is
(or isn't, for that matter) consistent with what you'd initially heard, are
you allowed to point this out?

I am not a lawyer.

And I would love to hear the definitive info but I think the answer is no.
That is, disclosing what you knew or when you knew it or whether it was
correctly predictive is itself a violation of a typical NDA. But I could be
wrong and I would defer to a statement by LD on how they construe their NDA.

On the agreement I signed (and I talked this over with someone at LD, recently
even), the agreement terminates one year from the date signed.  This means,
legally, we can disclose what we were told.  That doesn't mean we will - some
things we might withhold out of courtesy to LEGO - and depending on other
factors there might be things that are appropriate or inappropriate to disclose.

I don't intend on disclosing information after the NDA is up that LEGO prefers I
not disclose.  If others who were under NDA want to, that's their business.

Robin Smith would be able to best answer the question, her being a (one of two,
I believe) Corporate Counsel for the Americas, she probably knows the NDA inside
out and backwards and perhaps even drafted it herself.
