Ok, title changed from "freenode IRC network purchased by VPN company PIA".

Submitters: Please use the original title unless it is misleading or linkbait, as https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html asks.

it is misleading, it's hard to read the post as anything other than the announcement of an acquisition, once you remove the corporate waffle

I understand that reaction and share the dislike of corpspeak. But since someone involved with the project is disputing that interpretation, we should stick to what the post actually says.

Shouldn't we then also ask said person to clarify exactly how the interpretation is incorrect?

EDIT: Nevermind, seems that was done below.
