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.
