      In the US, contracts are routinely deemed unenforcable by courts for being overly broad. A contract with an indefinite duration frequently falls under that category.

          The contract is forced on you in order to obtain employment when there is very unequal bargaining power. It’s also a contract that’s largely deemed illegal in actual courts. He disclosed information that is no longer business relevant and instead just an object of historical interest at this point.

          I suppose if you were forced to sign a non-compete to work for a fast food restaurant that you’d also honor that and not work for any other fast food restaurants if you had to quit?
