If a client has paid for the source code and has exclusive rights to it
(which is the usual case), yes you must reinvent the wheel (=source code)
for a new client. The developer doesn't own the source code,
the client does.

If that is the wording of the contract, then I guess you must
live up to the NDA.

I agree ... but once again, the developer doesn't own
the source code, the client does (most contracts stipulate this).
Also ... another thought.
On a side note. A recent contract I got (hope they aren't reading this)
was estimated at one month (by them). When I got into their source code,
I realized they didn't have any useful VCX's. There was no way I could
develop the application in a month without an existing VCX to work off of.
Should I have given them my existing VCX which has taken me 4+ years to
develop for a one month contract? That seemed a little unfair for me.
