One oddity about LCM was that they seemed to be

for a technical advisory group to help them with understanding old hardware, and then

I assume with the immense wealth PA had that anyone and everyone connected to him were
sought out by people looking to try to pitch ideas, get grants, try to sell thing things,
etc. Maybe NDA helped reduce that noise to the org.

But an NDA wouldn't do any of that. And conversely, asking people who are
volunteering their expert historic knowledge to sign an NDA is rather insulting. Not to
mention legally questionable, because if applied strictly it would block those people from
conveying the knowledge they have to LCM!
