    Great.

    And a year later, when renewal time comes around and the company says they don't need to renew because they've developed their own in-house replacement, your piece of paper is worth about as much as the T&Cs on the world+dog's website.

    Can you prove that they stole your code? Can you afford the legal process required to do so?
