All software I develop is usually custom software for others and doesn get publicly distributed. What relevance do Free Software and Free Software licenses have here?
Even if the software you develop does not get publicly distributed, you can still provide the same sort of freedom to your users. To start with, share the source of your application with your customers – not just at the end of the project, but throughout the development of the project as well. This will provide better control to your customers. Tomorrow if you are not able to support them, they can try to get support from someone else. Document your software well enough so that its easy to maintain, extend and understand – not just by your developers and the customers but also by another developer who might need to access the source code.
