One of my friends had a contract like that, and he created an open source project that the company tried to take, as it was successful. The courts disagreed, and the CEO of the company, who didn't know about that clause (and was extremely against such things, and was also very tech savy) quickly fired a number of people who were behind that, as it violated company policy.
This was some time ago (I can't remember the company name to save my life) but I later met the CEO, and found him to be quite nice. He had a number of code style rules, all of which lead to some very maintainable code. The company also has a number of open source utility libraries, all of which are fully documented with numerous examples. Most were in C/C++, so I didn't use them, but I did look at them.
If I find (and remember) the company name I will post a link. Don't bet on it though. My memory is like RAM, it gets cleared a lot. (grumbles about that issue...)

From a response on SO
Quote: and pointed out to the owners of the company that by claiming ownership of anything i did on my own time, they would also bear responsibility for anything that i did on my own time. So if one of my hobby experiment virus programs ever happened to accidentally escape into the wild...they would be responsible.

Hopefully, like it belongs to someone with better teeth! 
I know the feeling - every time I go for a check-up, he does a "polish and de-scale" and my tongue doesn't seem to fit for days...

Please accept my sympathies for any dental distress you may be going through.
However, be sure and use that line about how your mouth feels with your wife in case anything ... uhhh ... comprising, like lipstick on your shirt in a color your wife never uses, comes up.
cheers, Bill

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

When did this happen and why are you allowed back behind the keyboard here? Thought they put you in one of those lovely white jackets that does up at the back.

I just seen the CP FAH[^] link in Dave Auld's sig. I followed it and looked at the list and saw that most people on it are not active any more. In fact there is probably not even a half dozen active. Why did so many of you drop out?
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!
