Copperhead registered the grapheneos.ca and grapheneos.net domains and redirected them to their site. I had my lawyer intervene and those redirects are now removed but they still have the domains. It's yet another example of their desperate attempts to harm us.

It's part of their continued attempts to fraudulently claim ownership over my work and to misrepresent themselves as the ones who created it. I started the project in 2014 before the company was founded in late 2015. The project has never been owned or controlled by Copperhead.

I created CopperheadOS before Copperhead existed. I never did that work for anyone but myself on my own time. It was formally agreed upon that I owned and controlled the open source project. Copperhead chose to ship the upstream releases of my project instead of making their own.

renlord.com/posts/2020-03- is another example of their desperation.
They attempted to get a student contributing to open source software in trouble with university via fraudulent copyright claims.
They're regularly harassing GrapheneOS developers/contributions with these attacks.

It's verifiable that none of the CopperheadOS code was attributed to the company.
After pushing me out, they filed a fraudulent copyright claim over my work listing me as the author but falsely claiming that I had assigned copyright to the company. It's completely without basis.

Not only was there no copyright assignment to Copperhead but it was formally agreed upon from the beginning that I would own and control the open source project. I was only willing to work on it under that condition. It was regularly acknowledged that this was how it worked too.

Copperhead had 3 co-founders: myself, James Donaldson and Dan McGrady. McGrady was there for the incorporation agreement but left before shares were divided.
This is not a case of there people two people with different accounts of what happened. There are witnesses and evidence.

It is verifiable that GrapheneOS is the continuation of the original project and that the new CopperheadOS was created as a fork.
It's verifiable that it was published with attribution to me as author and owner. You can see they added bogus copyright headers when they forked it.

This code for secondary stack randomization was published in 2015 under the Apache 2 license. It was attributed to me as the author and owner. None of my work was ever done under any contracts or as an employee with a salary or any employment agreement.

I have an experienced lawyer. I'm not looking for uninformed legal advice on Twitter. It's not helpful.
Copperhead is actively spreading slander about myself and GrapheneOS across a bunch of platforms. It doesn't make sense to stand by and allow it to happen without refuting it.
Replying to
My lawyer encouraged me to publish grapheneos.org/legal/Micay_%2 and I'm only repeating what's included in there and the updated version that's going to be published soon.
This is already on the public record for the court. I don't hurt myself in any way by repeating the truth here.
