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.
