In France, this can be part of your contract when you are an employee. Although it has some limitation, and for a benevolent participation, like working on an Apache Project, during your own time, it seems that you are safe (at least, it has been ruled by the court 10 years ago. My information was a bit dated...). Now, what you woerk on during your own hours should not harm your employer, of course !
