While an interesting angle, considering the end user for me is the
general public, I don't think getting every single one out there to sign
an NDA (and getting the company I'm signing the NDA with to agree to
this) is going to happen.

Obviously I'm a pretty specific case, I suppose for most people out
there the GPL is wonderful.
