Either the reporter is reporting the issue because of something they’re doing in their own time, in which case there really is no reason for the company to be involved at all (despite widespread american insanity on the subject), or it’s something they’re doing in a company context in which case they “can’t contribute” to something the company is already using which frankly makes no sense either, if the license was an issue the company could not use the software in the first place.
So the only context seems to be the usual (related to §1) “the company owns your entire life 24/7 for the entirety of your employment duration and beyond without compensating you for any of it” nonsense.

I don’t see that as making much if any sense.
