I think you have it!

If the client requests and pays for the template development effort, then I
think they own it. Otherwise, they don't.

|Greetings!

|Basically what I'm seeing here is that if I design a ground up template
|for my foundation... and I deliver that as a pat hand to a client, I
|shouldn't use it again in its original format... even though I made it
|for my own template on my own time at my own expense and someone else was
|willing to pay for it outright. I have to agree with that statement.  But
|if they only paid for my time to enter the content into such a template,
|then I should be free to continue using the basic design as I see fit.
|Else, if the client was willing to cover the cost(s) of the template, and
|the contents, I should at the very least modify the style enough as too
|not compromise the ethical standings I should maintain with the previous
|client... wright! write or right!
