Btw, are there signed contracts certifying that IANA gave ownership to the initial holders, with the possibility to to whatever they want with them, forever ?
Afaik, no.
This is the main question to be answered. If the answer is "NO", then I would like to understand why the RIRs cannot do watver they want with the legacy space "managed" by them. If the answer is "YES", then that would be for me a good starting point into accepting the current situation. But on the other side, it seems that not all RIRs have such a "friendly" stance towards LRHs (towards LEGACY in general).
Is there some copyright or patent on those legacy blocks or address space (I know it sounds stupid) ?
Maybe a 3rd option... "ownership"? :-)
It's not becayse you have always been named Carlos that you own the name. In fact you don't. And I doubt anyone owns the number 1 (or 42, or whatever) ot the letter A. Intellectual property only exists because there are laws allowing it to exist and specifying in what circumstances it can exist and what is it's extent.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think both the RIR community and the LRHs strongly prefer to sort out all details without running to arbitration, or... courts.
Usually yes, but sometimes it's only the courts that can definitely decide how things must be.
