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.

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.
They're fraudulently claiming authorship and ownership over code that I wrote for the open source project. This project existed before Copperhead was founded and there was never a time that code I wrote became owned by Copperhead. There was never any copyright assignment.

I never assigned any copyright to them, I never wrote code under a contract for them and I was never an employee. I own the code that I've written and I can do whatever I want with it. On the other hand, Copperhead has to respect the licenses for my code which they are not doing.

I see. My point is it doesn't make sense of ppl claimed that the part of source code under BSD license is an IP owned by a company. jesus, have they lost their mind? usually remain silence about FLOSS license question. Just hope FSF could make some public comment this time.
