It may have been before the new contracts, but Wein definitely gets royalties for Swamp Thing.  When talking about the Swamp Thing TV DVD set, he said:

Huh, they clearly must have grandfathered Wein in also.  I wonder if DC grandfathered in all the 70's characters/creators, or did Wein just negotiate himself a special deal? 

I know nobody from Marvel got royalties from 70's creations, except Steve Gerber.  Shooter recently blogged that the net result of Gerber's lawsuit was that he retroactively got himself the same character royalties for Howard that creators were being given for new characters in the 80's.
