Nathan,
The differences in custom for publishing is understandable, I guess. Publishers
usually have a number of authors anxious to be published, whereas computer
consultants are generally only writing something because the client wants it
badly enough to pay for it. It is customary that a client is given an
unrestricted, though non-exclusive license. Often, too, actual assignment of
the copyright is contracted, but in those situations the software is usually
highly specific stuff, with limited reusability.
