The only 'not' is in the note that is not part of the sentence itself. 
I could not twist the sentence to make it 100% clear that 'that' refers 
to 'use' and not 'work'.

Correct.

She can't.

A clause in a contract of employment that stated that the employee 
waives her moral rights to all works produced in the course of 
conducting her responsibilities as an employee would be unenforceable.

Likewise, a proclamation by an author that he waives the right to 
attribution for all the works he has created and will hereafter create 
would be non-binding.
