This may cause some duplication, but it's always better to have two implementations of something than to risk having none at all if it turns out that you can't release the patch in the end.
OK, this is a good point.
Also make sure that you get the customer's agreement before releasing anything; most likely if you are doing work for hire they own the copyright and you can't release it without their permission (of course once they distribute the result it has to be LGPL, but they don't necessarily want to distribute it).
I'll have to check on who owns the copyright, but in this case at least a stipulation of doing the work was that the changes would be merged back into Wine if possible, so that isn't a problem.
