Summary: 

In my opinion, I would think DEC doesn't really believe it has any rights
to your MAC software on your own machine.  If you were using a MAC provided
by the company, that might be a different matter since most companies think
you develop programs on company time, take them home and try to sell them.
If DEC has a super-secret project (he-he) using the MAC (or a look alike), 
they may be worried about losing control of some software that could be used 
for the project.  The saddest part about our life today is that you can be
right or wrong, but the side with the largest pocketbook will win every time.
