Hello Jeff,
   Ah, I see.  I used to work for a web development company in a 
similar situation.  For that situation, it is important to clearly spell 
out who owns what, and under what terms code may or may not be given 
out.  I don't think this is unique at all to using GPL software, though. 
 As I see it, it all depends on your contract with your clients.  I 
don't see any reason why you couldn't have a clause in your contract 
that allows for releasing source code in certain circumstances but in 
all other cases retains code developed for your own company's purposes. 
 This would not violate the GPL as far as I know.  Any other developers 
in this situation want to comment?  Mark Stosberg?
   This is off topic from CGI::App now, sorry about that. :-)
