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 using my code while promoting a company doing immense harm to myself and the other developers. The support you're giving them is what enables them to scam people and get the resources they need to cause harm. Your response is to start name calling the person who made it...

I don't know the Graphene history but suspect the way you come across to people without context is hurting your cause more than anything I could post.

You're promoting a product for people to secure their Bitcoin without doing your due diligence about it. The person behind that product stole a huge amount of donations provided by the Bitcoin community to my open source project via trust that was placed in them to handle it.

Perhaps it's not a good idea to use an OS from someone known to steal Bitcoin donations as a Bitcoin wallet. Just maybe you shouldn't trust a proprietary software fork of an open source project from a company trying to destroy the project they ripped off and screw over the devs.

If you're going to go around promoting the Craig Wright / nChain of the mobile privacy/security world, expect to be called out. You're promoting a scammer. Do your due diligence and think about how you've been manipulated. If you want to be sweet talked maybe the scam fits you.
When you talk about licensing and infringement, you're the one that kinda sounds like CSW/nC... Treating a user as a criminal for downloading software will not gain you any sympathy. Maybe share why the original is better, more secure, less centralized, etc... No legal threats.

GrapheneOS is the original project. Confirm for yourself on GitHub and elsewhere. It is certainly better, more secure and less centralized. It's actually an open source project as it was originally, not depending on cheap outsourced developers porting code they don't understand.
