The NDA I signed while helping out with WMF fundraising stuff while I
was visiting the office (which I think was around April 2010) did have
non-disparagement stuff in it. I remember because I had a discussion
with Mike Godwin (who was General Counsel at the time) about it and
got him to narrow the scope of the clause before I would sign it (the
version I signed said I couldn't use anything I learned while doing
the fundraising work to disparage the WMF, rather than that I couldn't
disparage them at all).
If that bit had been removed from the standard NDA by 7 November 2011,
then that's a very good thing IMHO.
