Not at all.. a lot of GNU/Linux developers are willing to sign
NDA's if they havent other choice.. but a lot of manufactures dont like to
have NDA's with Linux developers.. you reverse engine a device when you
havent other choice or when you have tons of experience
reverse-engineering some kind of devices and somebody, somehow
supports your work.. this work can be the most difficult thing a
developer can face.
I know for my own experience. no joke.. a painful experience. There is
much more involved than the fact "microsoft is willing to sign NDA's" who
rules more microsoft or hardware manufactures? real world is really hard.
