Can you elaborate a little on this? The reason I ask is that my experience has been different. I have seen a lot of requests for code escrow (source is released to big company if and only if small company goes out of business) when a large company was dependent on a third-party product, but I have almost never seen a request to review source code (the one exception being selling into classified government environments where security considerations required a source code review).
- pcl 9y agoI wouldn't say it's been the norm in my experience, but I've definitely been on the receiving end of requests for source (both when working at a large enterprise and at a startup). In my experience, this is much more common when selling something that will run on-prem or in process, however.
