David didn't disclose the details of this return of rights, so perhaps Tor is getting a non-zero cut. I suspect, however, that he argued for the model that Baen has been using -- non-exclusive eRights. That would let Tor sell the books (paying royalties to David Drake, of course), but it would also let David sell eRights elsewhere on whatever terms he wanted. It's worked well for Baen, so...
