<p>GrapheneOS has made substantial contributions to the privacy and security of the
Android Open Source Project, along with contributions to the Linux kernel, LLVM,
OpenBSD and other projects.</p>
<p>GrapheneOS was founded by Daniel Micay in late 2014. It started as a solo project
and was subsequently sponsored by a company that is no longer associated with it. The
copyright for GrapheneOS code is entirely owned by the GrapheneOS developers and is
made available under OSI-approved Open Source licenses. All of the code written by
people under contract with the former sponsor was removed from the project due to the
code becoming obsolete, long before it was known as GrapheneOS. The code that remains
from the previous era is entirely owned by Daniel Micay, 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 former
sponsor attempted to take over the project through coercion, but they were rebuked,
and since then they've taken to fraudulently claiming ownership and authorship of our
work which has no basis in fact. The 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 it through any means necessary to support their failing
business. This paragraph was reluctantly included here despite wanting to move
forwards and will be expanded if necessary.</p>
