Hi

You will find below a question and its answer coming from :

http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowNDA


 Does the GPL allow me to distribute copies under a nondisclosure agreement?

    No. The GPL says that anyone who receives a copy from you has the
right to redistribute copies, modified or not. You are not allowed to
distribute the work on any more restrictive basis.

    If someone asks you to sign an NDA for receiving GPL-covered
software copyrighted by the FSF, please inform us immediately by
writing to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

    If the violation involves GPL-covered code that has some other
copyright holder, please inform that copyright holder, just as you
would for any other kind of violation of the GPL.


I would like to have an answer from Android team about this FSF
position about NDA and by extension I would like to know if Android
Team plan to publish new release to all of us.
All of us got big damages by the fact that we are locked and that we
cannot compete anymore with people having last release.
Some young company, who invested a lot around android are now
completely stuck because of this issue.

In any case it seems to me that most of Android community think that
it is not fair to keep private new release of SDK.
