You must have gotten work for a client of mine!! :-) Seriously, be
careful. A client of mine who was notorious for this behavior went one step
further and terminated a legal contract in the middle of a project simply
because "This is not the business direction <name of company> wishes to go
in at this time. Let us know how much money you fell you spent and we'll
discuss." When I did so, they reneged and attempted to chopped my estimate
in 1/2. Interesting how the law works. Be sure you have a solid
contract. I did not. However, they also goofed (no NDA nor a non-compete)
and so I own the partial work and will finish it and sell it myself. ;-)
Funny how things work out. My point is, this type of behavior could
potentially be indicative of a type of client who would go so far as to
breach a contract on with a software developer that they had known and
worked with for 7 solid and good years.
Best of luck!
