You can put any silly thing you want in an agreement.  A judge would puncture 
any NDA clause just as they'd puncture an illegal clause in a EULA or any 
other contract.

Oracle has these stupid types of clauses in their contracts for evaluations 
too.  The only reason people honor them is because if they don't they'll 
never have another opportunity to evaluate the software and the bad karma 
would follow them around for years.  (Think of online mags and the like.)
