> Sometimes it was even part of the contract that we couldn't mention we worked with them. That's fine until you decide to leave, and realize you aren't supposed to include any of your best work in your portfolio! This is the default in all consulting/contracting/freelancing isn't it? Can't even mention your client, let alone the product you were working on. It's a real battle to get the reference rights in the contract. In practice you mention in public documents something like "leading movie streaming service", and use the name in private discussions and sales.
