> They were kind enough to allow us to keep the advance and maintain the copyright on what we had written

It'd be shocking if this weren't the case.

Well the contract said originally that they get the copyright since they paid an advance and it was a "work for hire". If they had stuck to the contract the copyright wouldn't have returned to us unless we paid back the advance and then bought it back from them at "market value".
