texte = Fair enough. I imagine you'd retain & generate copies of the code, in whole or in part, and utilize it to make future work easier/more profitable, which is fine since you guys *did* write it after all... and why re-invent the wheel, etc., but can your clients be certain that their own code wouldn't be used by you or anyone in your agency to compete against them? I mean, what if I dish you one doozy of an idea, you recognize its potential, you build it, then what? Do you send me the code straight off your drive and then purge your hard drives of it? Where do you stand/how do you feel about this scenario? Thanks. -Dan On Fri, 6 May 2005 10:42:36 +0800 Kenneth Grome
