In the above postings mungbeans remark
Are your clients technical enough to get any benefit out of this?
is probably the most important one (at least in my ears).
Since you're selling the setup for a website and maybe the major rearrangements and changes your clients are probably people who can't do this for themselves. Thus by opensourcing your code you'll just adress others that won't be your clients anyway. And then I can tell you that providing a tool that maintains a website will results in almost no feedback at all. When I gave my w3make to the world exactly one guy out there sent me an email asking this and that so he obviously used the program (BTW I don't know whether he uses it still).
So I'd say that you won't cut your own flesh by opensourcing your code. Just be careful with the name you choose! ...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
