In the end, I felt very used as a volunteer. I recommend that
anybody who volunteers for a non-profit, discuss ownership of code/

resolve more easily because of that.
Its a little off topic, but one thing I have *always* done when I
have worked for a non-profit is invoiced them with my normal rates
anyway - then have the final line on the invoice discount it down to $0
It lets them know just what they are 'getting away with'.
Its important to make appropriate use of the time you donate to a
charity etc so you increase your skills, but its also important not
to be walked over.
