So the story is simple, early stage EU portal hired me to do some extra modules. I got all the source code for local testing, did my job, committed new code.

Now I am out of this project but client still haven't paid me yet and he is not even thinking about that. It has been couple of months and no contract was signed so I can't take any legal actions. What should I do with all the source code? Sell it? Run exact copy of that portal? Make all portal publicly available?
