Copperhead has continued escalating their malicious attacks on GrapheneOS. Copperhead breaking the terms of the sponsorship agreement, attempting to take over the project through coercion and then trying to fraudulently rewrite history was not the end.

They've been contacting anyone supporting or partnering with the project to intimidate them with baseless legal threats or confuse them with misinformation. Their goal is harming open source privacy/security work. The're fraudulently claiming credit / ownership for our work.

It's at the point where they are not only sending legal threats to people who contribute, but they're trying to get those people in trouble with their employer or university. They have even gone as far as contacting the sister of someone supporting the project. It's insane stuff.

The FSF, Free Software Foundation, helped us legally before when a bunch of similar douchebag companies tried to sue us with Monero. Not sure if u ever contacted them but if not it might be worth trying.

Time to shut James down for good. All these agencies will do that for you gladly. Any problems linking it I know a guy who has everything. Crazy😂👻

Bionic is under BSD license IIRC it even allows some *extreme* circumstances e.g: ppl reuse the code w/o retaining the copyright-year statement. This legal accusation shouldn't work. Any opinions?

There is no code in GrapheneOS derived from anything owned by Copperhead. Licensing isn't relevant. I own all of the code that I've written for the project since it was started in 2014. That includes code I wrote during the time that the project was sponsored by Copperhead.
