So if this is the case, how do you separate your source code, which you want to give to your client, from their source code, which you can't release?

On all but one contract I have worked on, I have used my own framework. The one exception, the client owned the license to the framework. So for me this has yet to be an issue.
I suspect that if it ever was an issue, if the client wanted the source code, they would be required to purchase a license for the framework. A relatively inexpensive fee compared to mine... :)
