"Based on your last paragraph I just sent a note to my lawyer to make sure we do NOT do that."

I hope that companies interested in attracting top talent and creating a great company culture follow suit. It just doesn't make sense in the long term to try to squeeze out every last drop of equity from your own (ex-)employees.
My thoughts exactly. This nasty Skype incident is an opportunity for the great CEOs and company leaders to differentiate themselves. Just spend some extra money on easily comprehensible contracts that explicitly avoid the "clawback" clause.
