Transferring address blocks to those in need and receiving monetary compensation in exchange is *not* against RIPE policies.
To the contrary, it is expected that the transfers are registered with the RIPE NCC so people know who currently "owns"(*) an address block.
The email/proposition talks about "leases", and not transfers.
Transfers can be temporary.
And if I remember correctly you should return unused blocks and not lease them, don't you?
You are certainly welcome to return unsed blocks to the RIPE NCC, but you do not *have* to - the policies for allocations do not require that (and there is no provision for the NCC to forcibly take them back either), that's only for assignments.
