If it's from the datasheet only, then there is no problem with the NDA documents i've seen (but never signed). VIAs Linux NDA addendum only prohibits redistribution of (only) GPLed code VIA handed to you directly but hasn't made generally public (yet). It therefor directly forces you to breach the GPL.
Why is that? The GPL requires you to pass the sources to the users of GPLed binary code on their request. There's no need to make source code generally available.
A typical example of VIA stupidity.
I can't confirm this at all. VIA has been extremely helpful and absolutely unproblematic in NDA and IP questions where coresystems was involved.
