Afaik, the docs I've got on this chipset (vt8237r) are not covered under any sort of NDA, there is no watermark or other indication that they are. Searching for "NDA" in the document turns up sta"nda"rds and seco"nda"ry, and "disclosure" and "confidential" both come up empty. The server that I found them on is accessible through Google, and they've been there for quite a while, so Via has obviously not cared enough to have the owner take them down. Personally, I don't see why sucking up to a hardware vendor for non-confidential datasheets is necessary.
To take some emotions out of this discussion:
The 8237 data sheet can be downloaded from the via.com.tw site.
It's just not even 10% of what is needed to do a port.
