You mean a prohibition on the employee pursuing or getting involved in the pursuit of legal remedies for infringement of the *employee's* copyright, or the *employer's* copyright? Or both? I can't speak for MontaVista, but as to Red Hat, the answer is certainly not for the *employee's* copyright, and obviously not for the *employer's* copyright. Indeed, regarding the latter, it is if anything common generally in employment agreements to have provisions that are intended in part to facilitate aiding the *employer* in its pursuit of remedies for copyright infringement. - RF
