The difference, IMHO, is in whether the project has specifically directed its members to co-operate (and whether it's paying for those hours in the case of employees). I might help people out with stuff relating to my day job (FPGA/VHDL design fwiw), or even sneak some Debian work on company time, but that's not the same as MyEmployer co-operating with Debian or whoever else.
