It's good to lay out in a Terms and Conditions what you are not handing over.
I make a list from "Applications used" to "source code" to "illustrations".. etc. And then I state in deliverables that I will pass over the rendered Flash file only (the swf). Handing over the FLA is asking to get stepped on. And I learned this the hard way a while back. I thought I was being 'right' to please a client and give him what he asked for. He just made a few tinker changes and put my work on his portfolio claiming it was his. And to top that off, he used some of my code for techniques I saw in other works.So if a client hassles you for the FLA, a good way to explain the situaion is that this is obviously standard practice not to deliver the FLA unless agreed upon. That's normal practice in photography with the print vs. the negative. I don't see why it's always that crystal clear in this industry.
