I'm not advocating that everyone should obfuscate their code, or play hardball. But there are times when it is desirable to take some precautions.

Where did I say that people should write unmaintainable code for their employers? It's a different situation. If you are being employed you have a contract. Here there is no contract. It's not job security because there is no job. It's much more like MS not handing out the source to their programs.

I agree with you about the open source stuff.
