I wouldn't say this is complete bollox like some say here, some people have their own tools for content managing sites and they may only 'lease' that to you, you can own the database structure and content and the design and template files but it is not quite as clear cut as it's all yours...

My previous company worked like this and funnily enough, I've just written a whole set of tools for sites and am going through the exact same thought process, does the customer own the admin code?

I await further comments on this with interest...

If you are looking for people to do the work, you can PM me too. I'll quote you but I expect others will be cheaper
