The best rule to go by is not to be an ass about it (it will come back to bite you). What works for me personally:
* IP = client (Its their business) * Code directly relating to the business = client (Upon full payment) * all other code (boilerplate, frameworks) = your discretion. Most of the time I'd just give it away as most of it is on public github anyway. In a court of law, the best way to deal with this is not to get there (whoever has the most money for lawyers usually wins that round).
