From the reports it is nowhere near proprietary systems, yet. Its a great development though and it shows what a single person can do for the community. We should shower this person with praise!
Non-competes aren’t enforceable, but proprietary “work-for-hire” clauses might be. I think the difference is that a company can’t stop you from working for a competitor, but they can force you to sign away your rights to anything you create while employed there. I have worked for a couple of big-box consulting companies, and they have you list anything you created before joining them, so any new creations are automatically theirs.
