IBIS models under NDA

I am confused by the fact that the
semiconductor companies ask for NDA for providing
IBIS models. The whole purpose of IBIS is to make
it possible for the semiconductor companies to
provide models without disclosing proprietary
information. I can understand if they want people
to ask them for models instead of having the
models on the ibis reflector. But requiring NDA
for IBIS models defeats the purpose of IBIS.
Am I missing something here?
