It seems that we have not the same way to read this :
# No Agreements: There MUST NOT be any requirement for execution of a
license agreement, NDA, grant, click-through, or any other form of
paperwork to deploy conforming implementations of the standard.
But it seems that many people have the same question than me (consider
the fact that part of SDK are derivative from GPL projects).
Below a statement from Richard Stallman who details its answer so it
would be easier to read without mistake :

GPL and NDA

GPL-covered code may not be distributed under an NDA.
To do so is a violation of the GPL.
If someone asks you to sign an NDA for receiving GPL-covered code that
is copyright FSF, please inform the FSF immediately. If it involves
GPL-covered code that has some other copyright holder, please inform
that copyright holder, just as you would for any other kind of
violation of the GPL.
It is possible for a person or company to develop changes to a
GPL-covered program and sign an NDA promising not to release these
changes *to anyone*. This is a different case. As long as these
changes are not distributed at all, a fortiori they are not
distributed in a way that violates the GPL.
However, if and when the changes are distributed to another person or
outside the company, they must be distributed under the terms of the
GPL, not under an NDA.
