Oh haha, hey! I was employed by Andrew across a fair few of his companies (I didn't know Shells.com was owned by him while I was working there though). Buuuut this is entirely unrelated to him, same as my other project https://ircdocs.horse/

It's totally fair to make that link, but I very explicitly told everyone over at LTM/H (including PIA and Handshake) that Oragono/Ergo and ircdocs were not work projects in any way. And while I was working on Shells.com, I was very explicit that I wouldn't be touching any IRC stuff for money while there.

But yeah, it's definitely good to be wary of these kinda links, given what happened to snoo's and fn/libera's team. If you wanna ask any more questions about my stuff in particular, feel free to ask here or send me a mail at daniel@danieloaks.net

and did they agree... in writing?

the ongoing LTM multi-million dollar court cases are almost entirely focused around Lee allegedly not respecting verbal agreements

Yeah we didn't need to agree in writing because I didn't sign anything giving them access, control, ownership, or anything else over my IRC projects. They offered to purchase one of them at one point, but I respectfully declined.
hopefully you didn't sign anything that could conceivably be argued in any way, shape, or form that might even hint at ownership, tangential or otherwise!

because that guy is a total asshat (MY OPINION)
