[Foundation-l] Future board meeting (5-7 april 08)

[Chad]

Our article on the subject would seem to say so:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-compete_clause#Enforceability_in_the_State_of_California

"Unlike the situation in other states, non-compete agreements are illegal in
California and against public policy." It goes on to list some exemptions,
none of which apply to the WMF.
