under NDA's, so any specs released to them would be released to the public.
They say quite the opposite at

Q: How are you going to write a GPL driver by signing an NDA? Is it
going to require
a binary blob or some other way of obfuscating the code?
A: No, not at all. I have written many drivers after signing NDAs
with companies.
They are usually signed either to keep information about the device
private until it
is announced at a specific date, or to just keep the actual
specification documents
from being released to the public directly. All code created by this
NDA program
is to be released under the GPL for inclusion in the main kernel
tree, nothing
will be obfuscated at all.
