They can have ownership of the code, and that's fine. But for example, say the client is a dating site. Trying to make me sign a non-compete saying I'm not allowed to work on another dating site for 5 years is a bit ridiculous, unless it's a long-term relationship of some kind.

NDA and ownership of code I'm fine with. Non-compete I'm not.
