Perhaps you could refrain from giving incorrect legal advice on the cocoa-dev 
mailing list?

The material covered by an NDA is generally regarded as a trade secret; many 
jurisdictions have explicit trade secret legislation, and even those that don't 
may allow prosecution of *recipients* of trade secrets for receiving stolen 
goods (or similar).

If you want to know how that affects you, you should consult a qualified lawyer.

In any event, cocoa-dev is run by Apple.  Even without the NDA, Apple is well 
within its rights to insist that some things can't be discussed here, and 
arguing with the moderator will just mean that you're moderated or eventually 
banned from the list (and maybe *all* of Apple's lists, in extreme cases) 
altogether.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
