-            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 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>

+            <p>The copyright for GrapheneOS code is entirely owned by the GrapheneOS developers
+            and is made available under OSI-approved Open Source licenses. The upstream licensing
+            is inherited for the modifications to those projects and MIT licensing is used for our
+            own standalone projects. GrapheneOS has never had any copyright assignment and the
+            developers have always owned their own contributions.</p>
+
+            <p>The tiny portion of the code written by people under contract with the former
+            sponsor has not been included in the project since it was ported to Android Oreo in
+            2018. This code became obsolete and was no longer useful. The vast majority of the
+            code from the previous era was owned by Daniel Micay, with very few exceptions. It 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 code was originally published under the same permissive open
+            source licenses that are used by GrapheneOS today. Only a small portion of this
+            historical code is actually still in use today. Most has become obsolete or has been
+            replaced by rewrites taking better approaches than in the past.</p>

+            <p>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.</p>
