Talk to a work contract specialized lawyer. Even apart from this issue, there might be other issues in the contract, so why not alway talk to one before signing

  I would like to see something that already exists and was used successfully first, so I don't go and talk to one empty handed... It's one thing to say: "I'd like to keep ownership of code I write on my free time" and another to add "like all these others do so already" to that statement. Maybe I could try emailing the FSF and asking for hints, as I'm registered with them to be able to contribute to emacs, and actually need to inform them about employment contracts changes and things like this in general. But still, there must exist somebody, somewhere, that has something reasonable written in their employment contract we could use as reference.
