I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that one of the item that distinguishes an "independent contractor" relationship from that of an "employee/employer" is that employers can prohibit employees from working for other organizations. If one organization is stating that you cannot work for another, or in other means punishing you for doing so, then that jeopardizes their right to be acquiring your independent contracting services. In other words, they will have to pay FICA taxes and other employer stated mandated fees for you, as well as provide you with the benefits as they would a employee of their organization. I would imagine they don't want to do that.
