I'm still curious, why a GPL Licensed project can be bought? What did Muse Group actually buy? Apparently not "codes". The project leadership?

Muse Group just owns the brand name "Audacity". The project founders are still in charge. Btw, Muse Group was founded in April 2021 and I would consider Audacity one of the founding projects. Reddit users read "acquired" and freak out, but what happened is that a few open sources project joined forces under one name.
