Let's keep our eye on the ball, people. Did the original post have any operational consequences? IMHO, it has many. Some are even interesting to the wider audience.

"If one of the customers happens to be the U.S. Government, it's not only unethical it's a crime. It's usually a felony. You can do time. The product was man hours. You've sold them once. You can't sell them again." You're assuming the contract is simply for work hours. Generally speaking, and from my experience, it isn't. The contract is for an app that does X, not 20 hours toward building an app that does X.
