[IRCServices] Services for IRC Networks/IRCServices (mis)attribution issue

Hello, everyone.

I would like to mention that I notice that some sites on the Internet
still refer to this software as "EsperNet Services".

This is an incorrect attribution.

EsperNet does not develop this software; Andrew Church does.  EsperNet
just uses it.  We also happen to be the first network to use it.

I request that any mention of "EsperNet Services" or the like in any
documentation be changed to "Services for IRC Networks" or simply
"IRCServices".

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
