[consulting] Contract protection clause

In my contracts and proposals I state that the client is fully
licensed to use the Drupal core and contributed modules code under the GPL
I would further interpret that any custom modules I add to the project
that work with the Drupal framework could fall under the same GPL
It's also important to carefully read the contract provided by a client,
I often annotate it when it states that client will "own" the code with
a reference to the GPL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/
When I explain the reasons, and how the client is benefiting from the
open source code we are using that was created by others, it is usually
not a problem.
The point in question seems to be more about intellectual property,
probably from a client who recently saw "The Social Network" :)
