It's pretty common in a situation like this to also carry a no disparagement clause along with the severance. That's also why you see a lot of "today is my last day at Basecamp" with no other "because I disagreed with the policies", etc.

It's my understanding that there is no NDA.

Non-disparagement is different from NDA (non-disclosure).
