Comment (by michaelld):
The NDA summary is pretty clear:
{{{
Don’t blog, post screen shots, tweet, or publicly post information about
the public beta software, and don't discuss the public beta software with
or demonstrate it to others who are not in the Apple Beta Software
Program.
}}}
I haven't looked at the specific NDA language, but I'm sure it's more
comprehensive.
As this ticket is a "public forum" that "discuss"es the public beta
software, I'd say it qualifies as something to "don't" do. Hence, I think
that the text "enable build on Mojave" violates the NDA. I also think this
ticket rationale violates the NDA, as did my reply in the ticket.
The above stated: What is more important is whether Apple (the owner of
the NDA) will actually execute any of the enforcement clauses because of
the supposed violation. -I- don't think Apple is going to do anything
about this ticket, nor single out the OP nor me nor anyone else on this
ticket for violating the NDA. This is "small potatoes" compared with what
they are really trying to protect; probably doesn't even meet a reasonable
threshold being considered a violation, given the connection between
MacPorts and OSX (in general).
That said: I'm done here & will not do anything further with it one way
or the other. I've addressed the issue per one my various roles within
MacPorts-land, and am moving on to other pastures. If the MacPorts "powers
that be" wish to delete this ticket or any part of it, I'm fine with them
doing so.
THAT SAID: I am not a lawyer. Rephrasing Joshua: It's best to consult with
a qualified lawyer if you're concerned whether a given action is enough in
violation of the NDA to be enforced.
