> I think the issue is that it's unclear what was actually sold to Lee (possibly just a domain name and a website) Looks like Lee legally owns something. I am not exactly sure what it is? Something much less than the entire IRC network. Some kind of account to something. First Wesley had revoked Lee's access, and then returned it. Anyway, when Lee asked for this access to whatever it is that he owns, it was seen as an attempt to a hostile takeover. "I was locked out of the account" "Finally, tomaw voluntarily handed back all of the accesses" https://github.com/freenode/web-7.0/blob/main/content/news/2...
