it may be annoying, but if you are a subcontractor, you always have to hand
over the code, ( i thought).
even if you have a direct contact with someone, the debate is what you are
selling, if you are selling the source with the finished product, you
should draw a contract with this specified. if you are selling the finished
product directly, you don't need to show your methods. if you are selling
your time to a middle person, you definitely should give the source code,
because the actual client is not dealing directly with you and you may not
be on intimate terms with the contract they signed with the people who are
paying you.
the point is, and it's sharp - i know, i've been stuck with it - get the
information up front. if you have a contract ahead of time, everyone is
happy because they know where they stand and there is no ambiguity. if not
- then you are asking for trouble. when you make a stand for your rights
after the fact, you probably won't have any.
power to the programmers.
