I shared your same concern with this project. After a 10 page SOW, I began to wonder if they'd do the same, but then again, this client had me sign a NDA, so I felt a little more comfortable with his work ethic. Maybe in return, I should do the same for my SOW's by having them sign an NDA, but then again, whos going to stop them from re-using it. I guess I'll try it until it burns me, which may not take long...
