So, I'm going to have to sign an NDA, so I assume that means I can't reach out publicly for advice anymore, never been under NDA on a serious matter before. Prior to signing, is this a matter we should grab the attorney to represent us or just to have review paperwork? So far it's very amicable, confirmed that our licensed link is toast in 7 months. I think I have a very viable solution for everyone (there is another parallel link affected that's someone else's that terminates near us on both sides) I've heard the best legal term (make whole) and a risky term (cost sharing) so.....
