If a client asked, YES I would give them the code/file.
If people feel it’s the end users right to have a copy
of the file that is running their system then is it fair
to add a “deadbeat” function?
Say a timer shuts down the system after 120 days if not
disabled by the programmer. If the client hasn’t paid
in full then the CI wouldn’t give the docs/files and the
client would be forced to call.
I’m tired of clients holding balances over my head to
feel comfortable that I would return to change favorites
or do additions.
People keep adding all sorts of red herrings that have nothing to do with the issue. No one has suggested you have to provide all the code before you are paid in full.
