Depends on the client and contract. If I'm a contractor for hire then, legally and by default, the source code is mine unless a contract explicitly says that it is not. Probably 80% of the time the source code stays with me. Of the other 20%, around 95% of the time we have a contract that I can use pieces and portions of the code not specific to User Interface (which really wouldn't be a problem legally ala the 'Look and Feel' case a number of years ago), business processes, or trade secrets. That sort of thing. That way I don't have to scrap all of the previous or currently created code (classes, etc.) that was used on that project. If the client REALLY wants total control and ownership of the code for the project then they are gonna pay for it! <g>
