source project. The code was originally published under the same permissive open
source licenses that are used by GrapheneOS today and the copyright ownership is largely
irrelevant due to it being an open source project. The upstream licensing is inherited
for modifications to those projects and MIT licensing is used for our own standalone
projects. There was an era from September 2016 until the project split from the former
sponsor in mid 2018 where non-commercial usage licensing was used for revisions to the
existing open source code. This was an attempt to prop up the project's sponsor which
was not succeeding in building a business. The licensing was not the real problem and
GrapheneOS has gone back to the original open source licensing predating the misguided
sponsorship agreement. Code from that era not owned by Daniel Micay was omitted from
the project when it was ported to Android Oreo and rebranded as the AndroidHardening
project and then GrapheneOS. There is no code in GrapheneOS tainted by non-commercial
usage licensing. It was largely rewritten from scratch for Oreo and later and all the
portions based on earlier work are unquestionably owned by the developers who are free
to choose new licenses for the code.</p>
