I'd have to disagree on this. I don't think it's a loss to give someone the
right to take a look at what they are ordering. After all, when you buy
something, you expect to know what you are paying for and not just see a few
demos and semi-working trials. Even though some people could take advantage
of this, I wouldn't be counting those as my potential customers.

You can't evaluate everything from trials and demos. Sometimes you have to
take a closer look at someone's source code to see if his coding is up to
your standards. After all, you will have to maintain the original
developer's code, should he go out-of-business.

I give source code for evaluation
and I can't say I regret doing this :o)
