Dag,
If as you say there was possibly 1000 + EUR per month coming into the project for 3 + years, that makes a fairly sizable chunk of cash, certainly if CentOS or a derivative, is going to get retooled by the developers that cash could be to your advantage. I'm not sure what the law is, or even which jurisdiction it would fall under, but if sponsors donated money under the assumption that it would go to the project, when it fact it didn't, that seems awfully like fraud to me. I'm not sure you know, or if there even are plans for what to do if the money and domain are not recovered but I certainly wouldn't just try to move on without a fight.
