And they could all refuse to sign, or demand a much higher salary, due the high risk of that contract easily being broken by accident. 1 stolen unencrypted laptop, or source control checkout over an unencrypted channel, is all it would take.

Right. And you can already refuse to accept a job if all the code you produce isn't open sourced. Good luck with that on most companies, though.
