I think it's necessary to understand exactly what rights you're giving
away. Under both British and Australian law, and therfore I presume
virtually every other former bit of the British empire, if you produce work
on commission, then the copyright is owned by the commissioner of the job,
not by the person who accepts the commission. If, on the other hand, you
create a site on spec and then sell it to a company, you have the right to
retain the copywright.
