Exactly. Everything has it's place.
Can I ask, what do you mean by "share code with out customers"? They modify this code? They only use this code? How are the dynamics?
We are somewhat similar to contractors and directly help our customers write their code. Usually this means bringing in some kind of starting template, and it's easier to do this with a permissively licensed template than make them sign another legal agreement.
They own the code once we're done, and they don't need to make it open source (companies naturally don't like to open source their products). Our templates are open source and well-documented, though.
