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 from Android Oreo to
Pie 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 Most has become obsolete or has been
replaced by rewrites taking better approaches than in the past.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>
developers have always owned their own contributions, including for code written
from 2014 up to the rebranding to GrapheneOS in 2019.</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 the official
builds and from January 2017 onwards 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>
