NDA or not, the code is still 3Com property. If they haven't given
it to you, and you haven't bought it, you have no right to it. I'm
distressed that a CS instructor would have such a cavalier attitude
about intellectual property. Sign or don't sign, I don't care, but
don't accept code that has been stolen even if you didn't do the
stealing.

Rubbish. What's the difference between that and "we're k00l hackerz
man, laws don't apply to us"? If I accept stealing 3Com code, how
can I object to someone stealing my own product?
Is this really some moralistic discussion? Starting to sound like a
bunch of whining from people who don't want to spring for a stamp.
