I would greatly appreciate it if you took this link down and let the courts decide on how we all should proceed. I'm sure you can understand the struggles of being a tech CEO and those are being compounded by having an active harassment campaign done by Graphene against us.

Lol, as soon as an open-source project gets attention you get big sad? Stop stealing GrapheneOS work. Stop scamming people with an OS that tracks users for license enforcement. Stop harassing Micay. Just give a little stock to Micay and this drama is over with no harm done.

I wrote this code and own it. It was originally published under the open source Apache 2 license. That's the license it's being published with as part of GrapheneOS today.
I created CopperheadOS before Copperhead existed. I co-founded the company and still own half of it today.

It can be verified via the Internet Archive and multiple archives of the code on GitHub that this code was published under open source licenses along with the fact that I authored it and own it. As the owner I can re-license it, but Apache 2 is the original AND current license.

If I'm wrong I apologise profusely but, doesn't copperhead limited own the code? As I understand it the code that was written for copperheados is being licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 as a non-profit (I failed to read that bit properly first time) organisation this give you full

Use of the code as long as you aren't charging for it. I will admit that I'm not au fait with U.S or Canadian copyright law but again I would doubt that you own the code you wrote for a company even if you part own that company, it's the company that owns the IP.

I did not write the code for the company. I wrote the code before the company existed. I never assigned any copyright to the company, never did any work on it under contracts and was never an employee. There was never any employment agreement or any actual salary. That's reality.

I created CopperheadOS in 2014. Copperhead wasn't founded until late 2015. The code was under open source licenses until I unilaterally chose to use a non-commercial usage license. That was applied to the sources from January 2017 onwards. As the owner of the code, I chose that.

And as the owner of my code, I chose to go back to my original licensing. Go ahead and look at the public record. Look at the archives of the code. Look at the GrapheneOS GitHub repository which are the originals. It's my project, created in 2014, and I own all my work on it.

CopperheadOS forked my project after pushing me out and created a closed source product based on it. The new CopperheadOS is distinct from the project that I created and is closed source. It's not open source or source available. The sources are private and not openly available.
