Copperhead has repeatedly threatened open source developers and used underhanded methods to try causing harm to them. At the same time, they depend entirely on the code we're writing and continue taking it. I hope that people stop funding these attacks.

They're trying to cause serious harm to people for daring to improve open source software. They forked our software and sell a very flawed version of it with tracking and far less hardening as a closed source product. They see the original project as a threat to their scamming.

This is far from the only person Copperhead has tried to intimidate and harm for contributing to open source software. They target people based on what they perceive as their vulnerabilities. Don't fall for their CEO trying to make himself out to be a victim. He's a sociopath.

They've even threatened contributors that are under 18. It's worth considering contributing under a pseudonym to make it more difficult for Copperhead to research your life and try to find ways to manipulate and hurt you. You can do that even if the work is being funded by us.

Simply spreading the word about what's happening and politely countering their false narratives / misinformation across platforms is a good way to contribute to GrapheneOS. Their CEO is trying to portray people doing this as somehow making them victims as if that makes any sense.
