CopperheadOS is a proprietary fork of my code in violation of the licensing that was used at the time. Not only that but they've invested substantial resources in causing harm to myself and the continuation of the original project they've ripped off and passed off as their work.

Giving them money and support is directly funding and supporting attacks on open source privacy and security developers. By promoting it, you're pushing proprietary software and harming the open source project they ripped it off from and continue trying to harm however they can.

So, for your information, you're violating the licensing of my software by using CopperheadOS, especially if you use it for anything commercial which a Bitcoin wallet largely seems to imply. GrapheneOS is open source but the legacy code they forked is non-commercial usage only.

Copperhead does not have a license and does not own the code that they forked. They were never given any commercial license to use it without my permission/involvement. I never assigned any copyright to them. I never had any employment agreement or contract work with Copperhead.

A far superior modern version of the project with years of additional research and engineering put into it. It's available as an entirely free, open source project with an active community collaborating to make it. Not sure why anyone wants a proprietary fork of my legacy work...

"you're violating the licensing of my software"
Great first impression. Feeling super motivated to go try your project now.

You're already using my old code via a proprietary fork ripping it off and trying to pass it off as something they own and created. My suggestion is to stop promoting products from a scammer stealing the work of open source developers while going out of his way to harm them.
