A floppy filled with software worth thousands of francs: Techie can't take it, customs won't keep it. What to do?

Modest proposal.

- How much is the software on this disk worth?

It has no monetary value. It is an update that fixes a bug. We are obliged to supply it for free.

Regarding the original story - you should maintain remote access to your code until you get paid. If they don't pay, the software stops working until they do. It's not just the bad guys that can do that.
