Not only should employers try that, they must do that or fail in their
responsibilities to the shareholders.

But that is the point, all the employer needs to know is that any software you
do outside the company does not compete with or  "steal" stuff from inside the
company. Openness and straightforwardness is all that is required so all
parties know what is going on.

Any potential employer not behaving reasonably, is an employer not to work
for.

And of course, non-GPL and LGPL software on GItHub, GitLab, BitBucket,
Launchpad, are there fore the taking: why pay people when you can use their
work free of charge. ;-)
