I talked with Geoff and according to him there’s no legal contract between CEA and Leverage that prevents information sharing. All information sharing is prevented by organization internal NDA’s.
Huh, that’s surprising, if by that he means “no contracts between anyone currently at Leverage and anyone at CEA”. I currently still think it’s the case, though I also don’t see any reason for Geoff to lie here. Maybe there is some technical sense in which there is no contract between Leverage and CEA, but there are contracts between current Leverage employees, who used to work at CEA, and current CEA employees?
What he said is compatible with Ex-CEA people still being bound by the NDA’s they signed they were at CEA. I don’t think anything happened that releases ex-CEA people from NDAs.
The important thing is that CEA is responsible for those NDA and is free to unilaterally lift them if they would have an interest in the free flow of information. In the case of a settlement with contracts between the two organisations CEA couldn’t unilaterally lift the settlement contract.
Public pressure on CEA seems to be necessary to get the information out in the open.
