but that's just it. ned never promises not to tell. he only agrees to give cersei a head start. and he never implies that he will not share this information with people. even from the wall, he could leak it.
and yes, many people knew about joff's parentage but none had threatened to tell. only ned. which gives a few people motive. however, the fact that he was disgraced, (encouraged to confess treason) makes me think littlefinger was behind all of it. after all, ned makes a big fuss about being honorable. having him publicly acknowledge dishonorable behavior sounds very much like littlefinger's actions.
