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.

It's a good comparison. The privacy and security industries are full of charlatans / scammers. James Donaldson (Copperhead CEO) is one of them. He's a narcissistic sociopath obsessed with causing harm to us in any way possible. He's obsessed with harming us in any way he can.

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.

Unfortunately, enough people fall for it to keep them going and to amplify the harm they can cause. It's hard for me to understand how people can fall for it. Some appear to be supporting it primarily based on personal interest rather than actually believing in their nonsense.
