This should probably be spelled formerly and I'm not sure how correct
it is to say that the Libera IRC network was formerly freenode.

I can't currently think of something short, but to my understanding it
should read more like "founded by former freenode staff members" or
similar.

As long as the two channel links below (not seen in this patch) point
to freenode, I guess the average reader will land on freenode.
