At one time, the XFree86 project had some chip docs under
NDA and you had to officially become an XFree86 member (join our
corporation) to have access to it. Times have changed. I don't
know of any documentation that the XFree86 project keeps that
isn't available elsewhere. There are still alot of individuals
and projects that have NDA'd documentation, but these are not
NDAs with the XFree86 Project Inc. XFree86 doesn't really
sign NDAs anymore because it hasn't been necessary.
