+            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

+            projects. There was an era from September 2016 until the project split from the former

+            existing open source code. This was an attempt to prop up the project's sponsor which

+            GrapheneOS has gone back to the original open source licensing predating the misguided

+            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
