There are restricted donations, certainly, and I suppose those restrictions could be considered terms. A restricted donation is not a contractual arrangement though (a contract requires consideration - if there is consideration then it isn't a donation), so I would not use the word "terms", which is normally used in reference to contracts.
In any case, the announcement of this donation didn't mention any restrictions.
Tom,
Why do you talk nonsense half the time (or more)? Of course many donations have terms, implied or explicit. Hence the restricted funds many charities have. Any donation involving transferring domain names should have a written agreement, as this one will have, and that agreement has terms. Which from a combination of various reasons took an inordinate time to finalize.

That's what I'm still not getting. Donations don't have terms...
