I think the logical course would be to estimate which individual players contributed how much towards the purchase of the BPO. Whichever corporation ends up with the highest total percentage of contribution would decide whether to sell the BPO and redistribute the money.
Assuming that Corp B did contribute the most, they should be allowed to decide whether to keep the BPO and pay Corp A an amount matching their contribution, or sell the BPO to Corp A for the amount that the players in Corp B contributed.
In short, it shouldn't matter what banner the BPO was purchased under. It only matters which players contributed to its purchase, and how much they contributed.
This would be voided if there was an explicit agreement that the corporation would retain the BPO, no matter what the individual players did later. Of course, this is an open invitation for greedy CEOs to feed off their members' efforts. If you find yourself in a corp like this, leave.
And possession is nine tenths of the law. And in Eve, it's ten tenths. The settlement I suggest is merely what I would do if I was the CEO of Corp B and I wanted to maintain goodwill with Corp A. If I didn't want to maintain relations ... then hey.

If that's the case, I say screw'em. You tried to be fair and they didn't want fair. So be unfair. Cut diplomatic ties. If you can't withstand a wardec, I'm sure you'll be able to afford the services of a fine mercenary corp. Just let "you brought this on yourself" be your mantra.
And don't forget: Have FUN!

Voted keep the BPOs, plus use your cash hire five or ten merc corps to chase the guys around for a month or so, plus leave insulting can art outside the station with their headquarters.
This sounds like the most fun course of action mentioned so far. It would also be good if you smashed their POS network with dreadnoughts built with the very same BPO.

I don't think you say where this mining took place?
If it was for high ends in 0.0, and that was better money than mining in safe empire space, did the miners only have 0.0 access because OCC (the pvp'ers) had access and the miners were (initially) part of OCC?
It would make a difference because in such a scenario OCC did make a contribution to the miners ability to accumulate the minerals, over and above the 10% of the (mining) work they did do, and I do not think anyone has mentioned that.
This is an excellent point. Protection of corp members doesn't generate ISK directly, but it makes the ISK generation possible. I think a lot of industrial corporations would do well to remember that.
However, he DID say that he tried to be more than fair with his buyout offer. If "Corp A" isn't even willing to negotiate, then they should get what they can force RONAD into giving them ... which is probably not very much.
