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.
