@dalias yes tho @godotengine isn't the only option.
The only challenge is the #gatekeeping and #NDA|s that prevent published support fir #consoles, tho #Godot "fixed" that with #W4Games so they can in theory just do a #Developer-#Key like #Unity3D and #UnrealEngine that way...
#NDA s have their place, but rather a lot of them look like entry to a conspiracy, or bullying, or both.
I've just signed this petition. Will you add your name and share too?
Non disclosure agreements (and I have signed one - although is was not contentious) have become a plague on the expression of free speech and the ability of injustices to come to light. It is little surprise that organisations of whom we might expect better, will use them - as advised by their lawyers.
A time to end this practice - for all should be nigh.
Just in case anyone thought it was 'just' those nasty commercial employers (well, some of them at least) exploiting zero hour contracts to screwq their staff.
Oxford has no shame - well it probably never has had any... Probably a scheme promoted by some PPE nobhead and will undoubtedley be supported by other PPE nobheads in government.
Grateful not to be in academia any more.
Schon das 4. oder 5. "Kundenprojekt" in dem neue Leute SOFORT einen #NDA zum Unterzeichnen zugesendet bekommen.
…aber es keinen Prozess gibt in dem kontrolliert wird ob die Dinger jemals zurück kommen.
NDAs sind bullshit… niemand kehrt! Einfach mal auf Verdacht nicht machen und warten bis jemand jammert!
Ich bin mir nicht mal sicher ob es legal ist die Unterschrift von Angestellten einzufordern?
@TheDoctor512 @rw007 @1000millimeter @triF5 wahrscheinlich genauso #pawalled wie die "#TelematikInfrastruktur-Konnektor - Spezifikationen"...

#Trump #Defense secretary nominee #PeteHegseth testified during his confirmation hearing earlier this month that he wasn’t aware of any nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) in connection to his 2 divorces. While a review of court documents from Hegseth’s #divorce from his 2nd wife, #SamanthaHegseth, does not reflect a full #NDA, it contains a court-ordered agreement precluding either of them from saying anything publicly that would disparage the other.

I bucked at the #NDA my last office job tried to make me sign on my way out the door and got a meeting with the head of HR as a prize. I explained to him that any NDA would make it so that all I could ever say about the company was that they made me sign an NDA.
He was satisfied by my verbal assurance that the only valuable company secrets I knew were ones that I could go to jail for sharing (e.g. passwords.) https://mastodon.social/@fesshole/112983245054733665
@marcan @bunnie precisely that!
That's also why AI can't violate nor create copyright becaudr only natural persons can create any intellectual property that is protectable and if we'd claim that #AI could commit "Copyright Infringement" we'd also allow the #Copyrightmafia to hold everyone as perpetual #DebtPeon if tuey ever used #copyrighted materials to learn anything (i.e. no artist learning from a copyrighted score would be able to make permissively licensed music!)
#Apple et. al. use all the other mixes of IP to go after clones, besides absurd patents (i.e. #MagSafe) they mostly use exact proportions and dimensional accuracy to combat lookalike devices.
As for the #ISA #patents issue: #RISCv was specifically designed to workaround this issue in #academia and not have professors constantly violate #NDA|s on top of thise...
Big Pharma: Confidentiality agreements (NDA) spark secretive deals on life-saving medicines
NDAs are allowing pharmaceutical companies to make billions on secret deals on life-saving medicines
European govts unaware of what their counterparts in other countries have paid for a drug – meaning they might pay well over the odds for it or, in many cases, decide they can’t afford it at all.
I just really feel like nothing is going to come of this. Not for a while anyway.
OpenAI whistleblowers call for SEC probe into NDAs that kept employees from speaking out on safety risks
It's quite a while since I was in any potential #NDA situation doing R&D work, but my attitude was always "I only sign legal documents if they're very important, and you've just said this isn't important, just a formality".
Major public hospitals allegedly settling medical malpractice cases with NDA
Wanna hear something weird? I had to sign a $1 mil Trump #NDA back in the early 2000s when I worked on the Apprentice website. I almost refused—I had lived in NYC for a while, so I already knew him as the pathetic, racist fraud he is. I went ahead w/ it bc my creative director was an awesome person & brilliant boss, & he asked me to do it as a favor to him.
#Blanche concludes his re-cross-examination by asking #MichaelCohen if, in the 11 yrs he worked for #Trump, he ever recalled his boss having willingly overpayed for something. Cohen started by answering no, this was the first time — but then, he seemed to answer a different question, saying it was the first time he recalled Trump paying for a #NDA. Which wasn’t the question asked — confusing.
Via #RawStory
Former President #DonaldTrump admitted he was part of the non-disclosure agreement at the 
of his criminal trial for the first time publicly while standing outside the courtroom, #MSNBC's #VaughnHillyard reported Thursday
The same observation was made by #AllisonGill, who co-hosts the "Jack" podcast about the special counsel probe
"Wow. In his daily courthouse remarks, Trump just admitted that he was part of the #NDA w/ #StormyDaniels," Gill pointed out
