On a different note, would Pete even be allowed to work on a side project? I'm considering joining a BigCO and the contract really makes it seem like that would be forbidden.

It's really there to keep the dev from suing the BigCo for personal IP that leaked into BigCo's code base. On the other hand, would you ever go work for a company that went after a small entrepreneur for some minor breach? They'll scare all the smart code monkeys away.
