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.

We are not tracking users. Please provide proof.

It's plainly visible in the updater code. That's the proof. You're exposing users to the risk of being targeted with malicious updates. You're selling them a fake 'hardened' product based on poorly copying the work of others without actually understanding most of it. It's sad.

I thought you said the code was closed source? Which is it?

CopperheadOS is closed source. Are you seriously trying to argue otherwise? The sources are not publicly available and Copperhead denied access to the code to a Whonix developer who asked to audit it.

Source code is not required to look at the compiled code of an app. The Updater app is written in Java and the decompiled code is high-level and easy to read, as is the case with other apps. Closed source doesn't mean people can't figure out what's going on.
