> For instance, my employer requires that I can't admit that I work on (well known) open-source projects.

Is this legally enforceable? What state?

It doesn't matter: his employer can fire him for it. Even if they're legally forbidden from doing that, they can find a way to get rid of him without admitting the reason.

IBM in Canada, from his LinkedIn. Not sure why it would be the case, but I suspect legal/patent type implications.
