Sorry, I misunderstood that you meant that (and had honestly forgotten
that the list included those items)

You're right - that which is from Dan's inventory should either
1) Donated to evolt.org if Dan wishes (and there should be no pressure
    on him to do so, or not to do so)
2) Bought from Dan (which will need a fair monetary value placing
    on it) by evolt.org
3) Replaced by equivalent new inventory bought and owned by evolt.org

Options (2) and (3) will require donations to evolt.org for that purpose.

Absolutely.
