True.  Contractual agreements are the key (again with the lawyers - those sharks!).  When I wrote some plugins for a stage production company two years ago, they stipulated that they wanted the source with the plugins and documentation - no problem from me - but I stipulated that I didn't want any restrictions on code reuse for other commercial (or non) endeavors.  Mutual benefit and no strings attached (no NDAs either - yay!). :)

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
