The actual wording is in the SEC filings, had to look it up when I was in DXC, and applied for a Micro Focus job. It is more of a company to company undertaking, based on mutual goodwill (and possibly a load of less friendly contractual clauses!)

Non-compete clauses are notoriously difficult to enforce and a lot of hassle for DXC to prove for the ordinary joe in the street. But your laywer would take into account that you were made redundant and therefore have to 'earn a living' and consider other factors of geographic limitations, the time of prohibition and the role and industry.
A lot of ex-DXC staff end up working for competitors and none of my colleagues were ever stopped. I guess if you were some big high-flyer with industry leading knowledge that was worth more than your redundancy then they may take an interest in stopping you. But you think DXC has any resource left to go after everyone who does this?
Thank you @QCyaXfz-hvp. That means, HPI is still open for even active DXC employees, right?
As I understand it, if you are laid off there is no restriction. You would have to wait a year since the spinoff if you were still employed.
