Actually,
In the world of IP (In this case that's intellectual property) if you were **paid** to write the script!
I love it when I get paid!
Then the script actually belongs to the person who paid you to do the work.
They don't just buy the time it took you, or the outcome. They bought the means to the end.
Where you have a case against is if they try to profit from or distribute that property without your permission.
That's when you get into software licensing which is sort of the whole opposite of Open Source.

I'm talking about the source code, not the proprietary stuff. I.E. I write
scripts here, but the script is "mine" (well in my brain anyway), but the
data, the output, and the reports belong to the company

Make sure you include the extra pain-in-the-ace fee when clients want to
help out. Client data and passwords should always be confidential.
Procedures to implement servers and workstations are only as
confidential as the consultant makes it. Glaxo is the only place I've
ever done consulting where you had to sign an umpteen page document that
only lawyers understand and get a ten-year background check. Most of
the folks I meet these days are ok doing business over a handshake even
though I try to press for my own agreement to keep honest people
communicating.
