True free software movement supporters will not sign an agreement not to
help their neighbor such as an NDA. Some in the open source movement
have no trouble accepting a binary only driver, or specifications under
NDA, or what have you, for convenience. That's what open source is
about: convenience, not freedom for its own sake. This is exactly why it
is important to make a distinction between the free software movement
and the open source movement and not lump the two together.
