I'd also be interested in the legal ramifications of withholding source code. Don't take my advice without consulting legal sources because I'm NOT a lawyer. Still, I don't see how you can be sued for not delivering something for which you were never paid.

If they never pay you, perhaps you could open source the project and use it to advertise yourself.
