You might fairly consider this an insignificant anecdote, but: I have rejected people for contract work because they insisted on retaining copyright, sometimes on this basis alone.

This is a new thing for me. It's a client that is not in a technical space and doesn't have much experience in software development.

If they had rejected that clause, I probably wouldn't have put up much of a fight. I figure that if they don't want it, we should keep it.
