It is generally not a good idea to even think about the piece of paper you were forced to sign when you got the job. The contents of that piece of paper are generally not enforceable because your signature was, obviously, obtained under duress. You either sign the paper or you don't get the job.
In general, if your conscience is clear, you will have no problem --but you don't run up and down the corridors advertising that you "gave something away" to Linux. Instead, with the utmost of professional integrity, you do what you can, when you can. Your company expects that you will contribute 110% of your time to the company. This leaves -10% for your laundry and Linux.
Cheers, Dick Johnson Penguin : Linux version 2.4.20 on an i686 machine (797.90 BogoMips). Note 96.31% of all statistics are fiction.
