they are going to release a binary found in the wild
in other words, a trojan, altered system binary from a rootkit, or the like
we are supposed to determine what it is, what it does, what it doesn't do, that sort of thing. then write up our findings in a nice professional package for fun, fame and prizes

If you are using the OS there is an EULA whether you clicked "I Agree" or not. In your case, where they gave you something, it should have said "non-transferrable" on the outside so you would know not to sell it. It sounds like they forgot to do that and tried to follow up with a letter.
