If true, the only question I have is "why?". Assuming the OSS projects aren't a conflict of interest, there is zero reason to block people in their own free time from working on other projects. Blocking any form of participation, even non-code contributions is extreme.
This sounds similar to Amazon policies I'd read on HN, but I can't remember if they were barring OSS activity or claiming ownership of.
As a Red Hatter I find this mindset mind-boggling, but I'm heavily biased and on the complete opposite side of the spectrum. There's always a balance to be struck around policy depending on the org/industry/etc, but a blanket "no" is ridiculous.
