That’s the deal about those things - the company has all the power in this situation. Usually if the company finds out you’re doing something they really don’t want to be involved in they do one of the following: - Officially distance themselves from your project (some people actually abuse this to get free reign over a side project by weaving in pornography, gambling, etc.) - Tell you to cease and desist immediately or face repercussions. - Deem you a legal risk and fire you on the spot for code of conduct breach or just simply lay you off. (yes, severance is pennies compared to legal risk for some companies)
