<h2><a href="#history">History</a></h2>
<p>GrapheneOS was founded by Daniel Micay in late 2014. It started as a solo project
incorporating his previous open source privacy/security work. The project initially
created a port of OpenBSD malloc to Android's Bionic libc and a port of the PaX kernel
patches to the kernels for the supported devices. It quickly expanded to having a
large set of homegrown privacy and security improvements, particularly low-level
hardening work on the compiler toolchain and Bionic. Work began on landing code
upstream in AOSP and other upstream projects. A substantial portion of these early
changes were either successfully landed upstream or heavily influenced the upstream
changes which replaced them. The project was able to move very quickly in these days
because there was so much low hanging fruit to address and it wasn't yet trying to
produce a highly robust, production quality OS.</p>
<p>GrapheneOS was founded as an open source project in late 2014. It was formerly
known as CopperheadOS. For more details, see the <a href="/history">history
page</a>.</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
the promises and is no longer associated in any way with GrapheneOS. The company
ended up holding back the open source project and taking far more from it than was
provided to it.</p>
<p>In 2018, the company was hijacked by the CEO who attempted to take over the project
through coercion, but they were rebuked. They seized the infrastructure and stole the
donations, but the project successfully moved on without them and has been fully
revived. Since then, they've taken to fraudulently claiming ownership and authorship
of our work, which has no basis in fact. They've tried to retroactively change the
terms of their involvement and rewrite the history of the project. These claims are
easily falsified through the public record and by people involved with the open source
project and the former sponsor. This former sponsor has engaged in a campaign of
misinformation and harassment of contributors to the project. Be aware that they are
actively trying to sabotage GrapheneOS and are engaging in many forms of attacks
against the project, the developers, contributors and supporters. Meanwhile, they
continue profiting from our open source work which they falsely claim as their own
creation.</p>
<p>After splitting from the former sponsor, the project was rebranded to
AndroidHardening and then to GrapheneOS and it has continued down the original path of
being an independent open source project. It will never again be closely tied to any
particular sponsor or company.</p>
<p>GrapheneOS now has multiple full-time and part-time developers supported by
donations and multiple companies collaborating with the project.</p>
