I have recently become the webmaster of a non profit foundation website. the previous webmaster had donated the website to the foundation. Now the Previous webmaster is claiming to revoke his donation saying that it is his intellectual property, and threatening to take us to court unless we remove all items that he designed for the website. currently I have removed all items but is he correct can he take the foundation to court for something he had donated and had listed as copyrighted to the foundation on these grounds?

He says the donation is an oral agreement and that since he has posted a public notive revoking the oral agreement the content,graphics,etc are his and not to be used.
but on all the pages of the site it said this site donated by XXXX and all materials @ to XXX foundation

Until there is a written contract stating who gets and owns what, all the material belongs to the originator of the material.
