FWIW, I had a pretty similar discussion with Salesforce when I joined
them.

If you're looking at an employment agreement with verbiage like this,
get them to modify it.  They're probably hiring you in part *because*
you are a contributor to PG, so they should be willing to bend their
standard language for you.  If not, maybe you don't want that job.
