Am I misunderstanding something, or isn't this the definition of a salaried position?
> second one about losing all intellectual rights to ANYTHING done/written/created ANYTIME and ANYWHERE (including things not related to company's business and/or technology in own spare time, holidays and so on).
This also seems extremely standard (at least it's in every employment contract from the big tech companies), and probably exists more so to protect the company from extreme circumstances than anything else (although I am not a lawyer).

I dont know where are you coming from, but one person being able to demand unlimited amount of unpaid work from another person is called slavery, not salaried position, in my book. > This also seems extremely standard (at least it's in every employment contract from the big tech companies), and probably exists more so to protect the company from extreme circumstances than anything else (although I am not a lawyer). Perhaps it is standard, but I think one should NOT sign contracts that are requiring or enforcing something to what one dont want to agree, as simple as that. We're quite involved in open source projects, activities around teaching women how to program, we're thinking about creating a foundation tied to these activities... All this would be impossible or much, much, much complicated with such contract signed, and also simply stupid, if done with full awareness of what is that she'd sign.
