> What do the rest of you do,

its a hard one. the best you could do from a legal standpoint is make sure
the contract you have with the customer clearly states the ownership of IP
etc so that if they do reuse it then they'll be liable.

What we do is instead of selling solutions which we give to the customer, we
sell services.

so all our services are hosted on our servers and the bits that we don't
want to give customers source read access to, we lock down. we state this in
our t&cs and contracts etc. this works quite well. They're not buying
software, they're buying access to the *usage* of software.

btw I don't think cfdecrypt can decrypt cf5 files, although looking at the
shrewm notice board, there seem to be people claiming they can (for a fee).
