Imagine you left Epic Games. Does that mean you get to fork Fortnite and make a competitor even if you wrote the code? No. If you did so, they would sue you into oblivion. This is how the world works.

Of course they would. Rightly so, but I don’t see how this applies in CopperheadOS’s case. I can’t remember what the licence was, but I do remember CopperheadOS used to have a lot more code opened up on GitHub, has this all been taken down? Why?

The original repositories were moved to github.com/AndroidHardeni and then github.com/GrapheneOS during the renaming of the project. Copperhead cloned all of the repositories and uploaded their forks to a new organization. GrapheneOS is the original project. You can verify this.
They initially uploaded empty repositories for each repository that was moved elsewhere to break the redirects. Many of those empty repositories are still there. Then they uploaded their fork of my code. I own all the code I wrote, and they're bound to the same terms as others.
