Should I Price my addition to a paid software?
I Ranted about a program that was unfinnished and began writing a sample software that the programmer can use. With the recent update he placed his quote to HQ in the same Dropbox folder as the .exe,
Should I Share the code or Should i charge him?

    @Juicer from the sounds of it your options are probably pretty limited. If you’re comfortable with maintaining it I guess you could work out some kind of monthly retainer agreement. Set a day rate for your services (don’t bother with hourly, charge by the day), and offer a block of time each month to be covered by that non refundable retainer. Work done beyond that can just be given as your day rate. This is just a suggestion mind you

    Thank you for the advice.
    I forgot to say I am also an employee of the company.
