Well, you know there *are* contract labourer laws, and if you didn't have a volunteer
agreement - if there was anything even remotely resembling a "you'll get paid if you
do x work for us" statement, you can sue the asset-holders for back-royalties. Not
saying this to make trouble, but I hate to see people get stiffed for their work. Either
you did it for free, and it should remain free, or you did it to get paid, and should get
paid.
