add page on legacy CopperheadOS branding

Browse Source 
We'll want to fill in more details about the history of the project and
historical archives of the code, documentation, tweets, community, etc.

This will help us with trimming down the information on CopperheadOS in
the history page. We want to reduce emphasis on the ongoing conflict and
focus on informing people about what happened in the past.

Immense damage has been done to GrapheneOS by Copperhead's organized
misinformation campaign and we need to do our best to repair it.

<h1><a href="#copperheados">CopperheadOS is now GrapheneOS</a></h1>
<p>CopperheadOS was renamed to GrapheneOS in 2019. It was temporarily known as the
Android Hardening project in 2018 before a permanent name had been chosen. For more
details on why the project was renamed, see <a href="/history/">our history page</a>.
For the historical release notes of the original CopperheadOS, see
<a href="/history/legacy-changelog">our legacy changelog page</a>. The
<a href="https://reddit.com/r/CopperheadOS">/r/CopperheadOS subreddit</a> was
historically the central hub of the community along with a bridged IRC/Matrix channel
that's no longer available.</p>
<p>GrapheneOS is the continuation of the original open source project by the original
development team. Our <a href="/source">source code repositories</a> have been used
since CopperheadOS transitioned to being directly based on the Android Open Source
Project in 2015. The prior repositories predate the CopperheadOS branding and were
also owned by us. It can be confirmed that our repositories are the original ones from
the GitHub network graphs showing the forks over the years.</p>
<section id="ownership">
<h2><a href="#ownership">Ownership</a></h2>
<p>We own the historical CopperheadOS source code, documentation and accounts tied
to the open source project. Our legacy Twitter account still needs to be returned
to us so that it can be renamed and made into an archive.</p>
<p>Copperhead has no valid claim over the ownership of the source code. It was not
developed for them. They were involved as a sponsor for the work and had
permission to sell products based on it, similar to companies selling devices with
GrapheneOS. We've learned a lot of lessons from what happened and are being very
careful to avoid being strongly associated with any particular company in the
future.</p>
</section>
<section id="new-product">
<h2><a href="#new-product">New closed source product reusing the legacy branding</a></h2>
<p>The new product branded as CopperheadOS is closed source and not associated with
the original project. They took our project's previous name and copied our legacy
source code and documentation. Attribution to us has been stripped away and they
pretend to be the ones who created it.</p>
<p>They've essentially stolen the identity of our open source project and have
invested substantial resources into misrepresenting GrapheneOS as being a new
project. They've built a business based on taking credit for research and
development not done by them. Substantial damage has been done to GrapheneOS
through an organized campaign of misinformation and harassment.</p>

<p>In late 2015, a company was incorporated which became the primary sponsor of the
project. GrapheneOS was previously known as CopperheadOS while it was sponsored by
this company. The intention was to use the company to build a business around
GrapheneOS selling support, contract work and customized proprietary variants of the
OS. The company was supposed to serve the needs of the open source project, rather
than vice versa. It was explicitly agreed that GrapheneOS would remain
independently owned and controlled by Daniel Micay. This company failed to live up
