NDA == Nondisclosure agreement.

Loaning system with NDA'd software == disclosure


Is it possible that there was a corporate NDA.  Yes.  Was there?  No.

It's quite possible that it was an innocent mistake; however, that doesn't
make it "right".

When you sign an NDA, you agree not to disclose the information.  Not to
"intend not to disclose the information".

Innocence has no meaning in this context since we're essentially discussing
contract law, not criminal law.


All this nonsense aside, it was not clever to ask people to provide this
information in a public forum.  A tiny bit of thought should have made it
clear that you were potentially putting the person who loaned the software
at risk.  Especially if they inadvertently thereby breached their NDA.
