You probably shouldn't sign a non-compete now. You should sign one with a company that acquires you though. It doesn't matter if you give other people access to your code or not. If it was done without compensation (or other agreement) and on your own time/resources it's entirely yours. The stupidest thing they could do is take your code and run. You could end up owning the whole business later. You do have to sign over IP rights to existing/future work you do for the company once you have an agreement. Not A Lawyer.
