Perhaps a better (or at least more fun) approach would be to charge one 
rate for support and bug fixes for your own work, and double for fixing 
other people's bugs. Then when the client comes to you with a bug fix, 
you can say "Well, according to the copyright notice, you wrote this, so 
I'm going to have to charge you double" :)
