Sometimes the client does not want it distributed, in which case I say cool. In other cases, if they are for it, we split on the proceeds because, in all fairness, it is their idea we worked from.

But, the code is always mine if I designed and wrote it and I never give up my rights to my code. period. The client has license to use the code.

But, as people said earlier in the thread, a contract and ndas would have spelled out the rights and their would be no question at this point.
