How does it compare to Graphene? (If you've used both?)

As far as I know, GrapheneOS is a fork of Copperhead and broadly understood as its successor.

Exactly, original CopperheadOS is continued but the more I read about the reasons of the split, the more I tend to turn away from CH OS and rely on Graphene OS.

Maybe or know some background info?

GrapheneOS is the original open source project and was founded in 2014, a year before Copperhead was incorporated. A brief overview of the history and copyright ownership is available at grapheneos.org/#history. CopperheadOS is a fork of our legacy codebase by a scam artist.

Look at the public record. Look at the code and the history of the project for yourself. Talk to users and observers of the project who were around from early on and witnessed all of this unfold. Can see for yourself that CopperheadOS is not open source and forked from my code.

Can see for yourself that it was founded as an open source project before Copperhead was incorporated. Can see from the code that the attributions of ownership/authorship have always been to me. Can see that I always kept the company and open source project at arms length.

github.com/GrapheneOS is the current location of the repositories (look at network graph of github.com/GrapheneOS/pla). They were moved there from github.com/AndroidHardeni after moving them from github.com/CopperheadOS. The current github.com/CopperheadOS is a new organization.
Look through github.com/CopperheadOS and use archive.org to look at the history of it. You can see that what they did is create a bunch of empty repositories to break the redirects to the new location of the project, and eventually they forked my work and uploaded it.

You can see that GrapheneOS is an open source project with the original developers / repositories. You can see that the new CopperheadOS is a fork of it which hasn't uploaded sources since December 2019, does not use open source licensing and hasn't done privacy/security work.

I renamed the project to AndroidHardening and then GrapheneOS once Copperhead split from it, similar to how I originally renamed it to CopperheadOS to reflect the sponsorship. Use archive.org/web/ to see how things were and how they progressed. Flip through the timeline.
