• On Freenode, Libera, and the r/sysadmin IRC Channel

  The servers were volunteer hosted under no binding agreement, staff were volunteers who never signed any contracts (christel was the only paid person). "freenode" the informal organization existed LONG before "freenode limited" the legal corporation. It would be very VERY hard for "freenode limited" to claim freenode's name as a trademark.

• Contributing to Prometheus

  If you are an external contributor, there are many options as well, like the Prometheus contributor hours every Monday where anyone contributing to Prometheus can join in to ask for help when facing an issue. One can also hop on to IRC: #prometheus on irc.freenode.net (for the easiest start, join via Element) which is more for users. Developers can ask for help on #prometheus-dev on IRC.
