An NDA for a non-paid position where you give your time and effort to a company sounds like a bit over the top.

If they can't imagine a way to make you productive when you give your labor freely without needing legal representation yourself then they're nuts and don't deserve your gift.

Think of it from the company's point of view. NDAs are actually there for a reason.

(Also, internships are hardly gifts. Making them work takes a lot of effort (and costs) from the company too)
