You're right, even if I do have the legal right the client complaining publicly about my publishing it could put a black mark on my reputation. And to really answer (or at least get a meaningful, useful opinion on) the legal question I need to talk to a lawyer.
Yes - I feel like I should talk to the client about it but I'm worried they'll just say "No!" and then they'll be tipped off to the fact that I want to. They probably wouldn't notice that I did otherwise, but even just typing that reasoning out makes it seem silly - I shouldn't rely on obscurity or deception.
Great feedback - thanks.

To me, my code is art. I love showing it off and letting people who appreciate my art also see what I have done. But through long fought for and won experience, I have grown to understand reputation is hard to gain and easy to lose. Keeping it is the real art in our business.
