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.
