I am in complete agreement with you jefother!

Here is my view:  NDAs and Confidentiality Clauses are purely negotiable, as are all terms in any agreement/contract.  EDIG should demand "permission" to PR the event, since this is about the only way (besides patent approvals) for a company like EDIG to promote itself.  This is especially true when you realize that a settlement/licensing agreement to resolve a formal litigation situation is going to be in the public domain via the associaed PACER anyway.  It would only be a statement of fact (not fluff), and would likely do zero harm to our customer.

While the benefits may be questionable for EDIG and its shareholders, doing something (anything!) to promote the company as an investment is far better than doing nothing.

JMHO,
