OK, let's take this a step further.
Bookeen wanted to produce an eInk reader.
Netronix are the source for the "reference" eInk hardware platform and its SDK.
If you're a small company who wants to produce an eInk reader you pretty much have to go through Netronix.
What do you suggest that Bookeen should have done?
May I ask how you know that the NDA covers the Linux software, by the way?
