It would be bad, I agree. (An NDA about what he worked on at OA, sure, but then being required to never say anything bad about OA forever, as a regulator who will be running evaluations etc...?) Fortunately, this is one of those rare situations where it is probably enough for Paul to simply say his OA NDA does not cover that—then either it doesn’t and can’t be a problem, or he has violated the NDA’s gag order by talking about it and when OA then fails to sue him to enforce it, the NDA becomes moot.
