forbid using GrapheneOS as a replacement for the Android Open Source Project in locked

<h2><a href="#copyright-and-licensing">Who owns the GrapheneOS code and how is it licensed?</a></h2>
<p>The copyright for GrapheneOS code is entirely owned by the GrapheneOS developers
and is made available under OSI-approved Open Source licenses. The upstream licensing
is inherited for the modifications to those projects and MIT licensing is used for our
own standalone projects. GrapheneOS has never had any copyright assignment and the
developers have always owned their own contributions.</p>
<p>The tiny portion of the code written by people under contract with the former
sponsor has not been included in the project since it was ported from Android Oreo to
Pie in 2018. This code became obsolete and was no longer useful. The vast majority of
the code from the previous era was owned by Daniel Micay, with very few exceptions. It
was never written under any contracts or employment agreements, was never assigned to
any company or organization and was the continuation of the original independent open
source project. The code was originally published under the same permissive open
source licenses that are used by GrapheneOS today. Only a small portion of this
historical code is actually still in use today. Most has become obsolete or has been
replaced by rewrites taking better approaches than in the past.</p>
<p>There was an era from September 2016 until the project split from the former
sponsor in 2018 where non-commercial usage licensing was used for revisions to the
existing permissively licensed code. This was an attempt to prop up the sponsor that
was supposed to be supporting the open source project. This did not impact ownership
of the code and Daniel Micay has relicensed the portions of the code that are used by
GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS does not contain any code based on code under non-commercial
usage licensing. Great care was taken to avoid pulling in anything that was not solely
owned by Daniel Micay, which was the case for nearly everything in the project.</p>
