No, but what he is saying is that LEGO has to contact each of us and _ask_ us
to sign a NDA, which there is not a _thing_ they can do to make us sign.
In other words, once the cat is out of the bag, it is too late for anyone to do
anything about stuffing it back into the bag, unless they have a "compelling
Legal Reason" or such like to manage to do so, and the set names and numbers
would not fall into that catagory.
This information is not (as far as I can tell) protected in any manner, other
than by internal threats (we'll fire you if you tell people about our stuff,
and sue you for breach of contract), but, since I have NEVER signed a contract
to work for LSI, I cannot be held by LSI to have any accountability to them.
