Then I recommend you actually _read_ the FAQ.
I did read the FAQ, I just failed to read the correct question. :-)
In this case, it seems that I and the FSF disagree. Prohibiting staff
from distributing free software is the same as a NDA, in my opinion.
And I think it is a weird stance from the FSF to support such
practises.
Thanks.
I remember quite well that you wrote this. Interestingly, Google
Groups doesn't, as well as a few other relevant postings of yours in
this thread: only my replies to them are recorded.
The FSF list archives seems to be more complete yet.
