"Ludicrous" is perhaps better. Last time I checked, it's not possible to force a non-disclosure agreement or any other form of contract on someone just by having them read it. Some sort of verbal or written consent is required ... at least in the UK. Thanks Nomura International plc, but since your legal department doesn't understand this, I'll avoid any business dealings with you if I can. Right. This is deeply OT for cygwin@cygwin.com so I'll shut up again. -- Sam Edge This e-mail is intended for you.
