We normally present a "choice" where they can either get a discounted development rate and all code and IP remains with us, or they can pay a rather larger development rate where they retain the IP for just the enhancements. It's just a case of selecting the correct "larger development rate" in order to steer them towards the first choice. That said, we really do give them a discounted rate if we retain IP since it helps enhance our product for everyone else. Phil.
