If you receive legal threats from Copperhead based on their fraudulent claims of ownership over our work please get in touch with us. There's no basis to these claims and we're looking into providing protection for contributors and other open source projects via indemnification.

CopperheadOS was started by Daniel Micay in 2014 and he owns all of the code he wrote for it. He's a co-founder of Copperhead and still owns half of the company. He never assigned any copyright to Copperhead and work on the project was not done as an employee or as contract work.

It was explicitly agreed upon that the open source project would remain owned and control by Daniel Micay. It was explicitly agreed upon that there would be no copyright assignment. Copperhead is trying to intimidate contributors to GrapheneOS and other open source projects.

He finds people he can trick, just like Craig. He gets sponsored reviews and content published by people that are trusted by others in the cryptocurrency community. Buys them phones, brings them into his business as resellers, etc. That's how he's getting resources to harm us.

They sell a poor clone of our work with tracking for license enforcement for a huge amount of money. That money largely goes to bogus legal attacks and further promoting it in the same way. They're getting increasing desperate and are constantly spreading misinformation/attacks.
