If the donor has warranty left regardless of the OoW status the above counts
That was a quote from the OoW section
When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above.  This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.  Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.  Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.
Sorry but the above is crystal clear
I admit I've never paid any attention to that note on the support page, and reading it, in my own personal experience, it is not interpreted as written, at least in the USA.  Again, based on my own personal service experience, the terms that legally apply and are in fact applied when seeking out of warranty service on any Apple product, are those in the general terms http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/terms/repair/generalservice.html.  If you read section three, there is no mention nor implication that anything done "out of warranty" carries anything but the 90 day coverage (and those terms expressly nullify any and all other).
It may also be completely different in different countries as well, depending on how local consumer laws affect what a company can or cannot do.  But it has been my experience in the USA, when I have sought out of warranty service on Apple products (iOS devices as well as others), the warranty is considerd null and void, and only the limited warranty mentioned in the link above applies to the replacement device or parts.
That's all I am going to say on it as I'm not about to get into an interpretive legal debate over lawyerize in warranty documents.  Anyone seeking out of warranty service can simply confirm with Apple for themselves what applies, in their specific situation and their specific country.
