FWIW, my current contract has very similar terms. This delayed my start by over a month. The compromise we worked out was that I gave them a letter modifying my conditions of employment such that work done on my own time and with my own equipment is owned by me. They countersigned the letter. Now I'm trying to convince them that it would be a good thing to release the various tools that I'm writing in $dayjob.
