John, whenever I do that.. And I do it very often.. I first tell them, and get approval and agreement that I own the code.. if they disagree. then I rewrite it all on their time, and I do it differently.. still good.. just not a copy... its their time.. and their money.. I will also write a comment in the note that the material is "based on" pre-existing dated material.
Most companies agree.. They like to make efficient use of time.. but in doing so they have to have a royalty free use of the code given.
