github.com/GrapheneOS/har was initially released in August 2018. I developed it to replace the port of OpenBSD malloc to Linux and Android that I made in 2014.
Copperhead was founded in late 2015 and split from my open source Android hardening project in June 2018.

I'm aware that they're selling devices ripping off our work. They regularly spread misinformation about GrapheneOS and myself. It's part of what I'm talking about above. It's unfortunate that anyone falls for it. It's how they're able to fund these attacks on GrapheneOS.

People are paying a huge amount of money to a company (and resellers) that's ripping off the work of the open source project they screwed over while fraudulently claiming ownership and credit for the work. It's sad people can't see through their flimsy excuses and misinformation.

Selling people a "hardened" device that doesn't even keep up with security updates and just has branding and marketing behind it is a scam. Their licensing is done by tracking users with their fork of our update client, exposing them to being targeted with a malicious update.
It's not false. You sell users devices that are putting them at risk. CopperheadOS is unable to keep up with security updates and is the opposite of a hardened OS. Tracking users and exposing them to targeted malicious updates is not something a secure OS would do.

It's sad that communities supposedly believing in verifiable evidence and open source development would support the complete opposite of that. I think people just associate an expensive product with something that must be good, even when it's just a poor ripoff of something free.
