Allow me to disagree.

$20k-40k is not a vast amount of money in commercial development.
Companies around the world a paying contractors a lot of money to
develop whatever software they need.
This is controlled by specifications, quality tests and sign-off of
the work.
The ordering party gets the source code, test protocols, documentation
- - whatever has been agreed upon and that's it.

I don't see any relation to your points 1. - 4. at all.

If we are talking about SQL-Ledger you may want to feed that
development into the main system because this would make it available
for other people and for future versions but that is not a requirement.

Regards,
Bernd
