Typically a software firm packs an End User Licensing Agreement with their
product. You see it in Microsoft and other code ie
About to Install Cold Fusion Server
Click Here if you agree to the terms of the Licensing Agreement.
Within you define under what terms the user can use the software... I think
standard ones are:
You may not redistribute or copy without the permission of the licenser, and
You may not reverse engineer or disassemble the software in order to build
your own..
(those arent the correct legal terms at all).
There are many terms you can include, so see your lawyer.
As far as what you give to the client when you build a software piece for
them, usually you are selling your client the means and ends of the
software. If you want to keep the means (sounds like you do), you need to
spell it out in the agreement that you are keeping the process of building
the software and they are simply buying the end result. You should really
consult your attorney...

What is entailed in licensing your code? I have a job that unlicensed code
becomes their property � there are some of our code that we don�t want them
to have ---???
