If the potential client is an individual contractor, rather than a
corporation, then I don't think the case would present a problem. However,
if it is a corporation which holds the license, then this case suggests
that the corporate debtor should not file bankruptcy unless there is a
legitimate purpose to the bankruptcy case, since the corporation is not
eligible for a discharge (ie: some assets to be liquidated).
