This kind of NDA (non-disclosure agreement) is very common -- I imagine the same sort of restrictions apply to Finale beta testers, for instance. It stands to reason that if they're paying people to collect this information, they want to keep the information private. I don't think there's anything insidious about that at all, although obviously others may differ.
That's more or less what the Sibelius guy told me. I guess I'm just oversensitive to that sort of thing.
I really don't think anyone should take the survey and then post a recap to the list -- that would be a blatant violation of the NDA, and I don't think it's ethical (or legal) to agree to Sibelius's terms with the intention of violating them. The NDA is a binding contract -- if you don't like the terms, don't participate.
I completely agree that it would be wrong to agree to the terms and then violate them. I don't like signing things like that at all. Obviously, I won't be participating with Sibelius on this.
