add page on legacy CopperheadOS branding
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.

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

the promises and is no longer associated in any way with GrapheneOS. The company

provided to it.</p>
