Oh, and amusing anecdote... I accepted a gig where I used that line and got their boilerplate non-compete crossed out and replaced with just "you will not work for $majorClient or any subsidiary of theirs for 6 months", but most of my cow orkers had not done that and just signed what they were offered. 12 months later, $majorClient, who was over 80% of the billings, left. Company called an all-hands, announcing they were going into receivership and weren't making payroll for the previous month that had been due the day before. Followed somehow with am straight face by "Oh, and remember you all signed a non compete that prohibits you from working for $majorClient!". They were somewhat unhappy when someone raised their hand and asked "So that means you'll be holding up your side of my employment contract and paying last night's salary, and all our leave and other entitlements?" At least 6 or 8 people were back working on that project either directly at $client or at their new agency within a week.
