produce a highly robust, production quality OS.</p>
<p>In late 2015, a company was incorporated which became the primary sponsor of the
project. The intention was to use the company to build a business around GrapheneOS
selling support, contract work and customized proprietary variants of the OS. The
company was supposed to serve the needs of the open source project, rather than vice
versa. It was explicitly agreed that GrapheneOS would remain independently owned and
controlled by Daniel Micay. This company failed to live up the promises and is no
longer associated in any way with GrapheneOS.</p>
project. GrapheneOS was previously known as CopperheadOS while it was sponsored by
this company. The intention was to use the company to build a business around
GrapheneOS selling support, contract work and customized proprietary variants of the
OS. The company was supposed to serve the needs of the open source project, rather
than vice versa. It was explicitly agreed that GrapheneOS would remain independently
owned and controlled by Daniel Micay. This company failed to live up the promises and
is no longer associated in any way with GrapheneOS. The fact that the company was
accidentally founded as 'Coppperhead Limited' was just the beginning of a multi-year
trainwreck holding back and poisoning a successful open source project it ended up
leeching off rather than supporting.</p>
<p>In 2018, the former sponsor attempted to take over the project through coercion,
but they were rebuked. They seized the infrastructure and stole the donations, but the
project successfully moved on without them and has been fully revived. Since then,
they've taken to fraudulently claiming ownership and authorship of our work, which has
no basis in fact. They've tried to retroactively change the terms of their involvement
and rewrite the history of the project. These claims are easily falsified through the
public record and by people involved with the open source project and the former
sponsor. This former sponsor has engaged in a campaign of misinformation and
harassment of contributors to the project. Be aware that they are actively trying to
sabotage GrapheneOS and are engaging in many forms of attacks against the project, the
developers, contributors and supporters. Meanwhile, they continue profiting from our
open source work which they falsely claim as their own creation.</p>

<p>After splitting from the former sponsor, the project was rebranded to
AndroidHardening and then to GrapheneOS and it has continued down the original path of
