Reuters: Hicks' potential windfall will also depend on whether the Australian government pursues him under a law that bars convicts from benefiting financially from their crimes.

It's pretty likely that the govt will go after Hicks if he looks like making a fortune off this. Just this week the government has taken out an injunction stopping the Corby family spending the proceeds of book and TV deals after Schapelle Corby's drug conviction in Bali. There are a lot of parellells between the two cases.
