But the client doesn't have right to any code which I (or you or anyone else) brings to table at the beginning of project, right? If I've developed the code in my spare time and no one pays for that time, so this code is mine? >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. I think that you would tell them all information and let them decide themselves. At least, it will be fair.
