That is what bothers most, he is not even using propietary software, 
home grown/developed code; I helped him put together a CRM package based 
on open source SuiteCRM and a number of plugins/modules.

When it was time for me to bill him, he asks I sign the NDA ... blew my 
mind.

We agreed on monthly retainer to keep things running, clean and balanced 
operationally with some module maintenance if needed for $1K a month - 
Hourly rate if I had to write code or fix code on top of the $1K retainer.

I just cut ties and let him go - I am too old to sign anything and have 
anyone put a cloud like that over my head.  I guess that the good old 
days of my word is my bond is no longer a thing.
