+
+ <p>GrapheneOS has made substantial contributions to the privacy and security of
+ the Android Open Source Project, along with contributions to the Linux kernel,
+ LLVM, OpenBSD and other projects. Much of our past work is no longer part of the
+ downstream GrapheneOS project because we've successfully landed many patches
+ upstream. We've had even more success with making suggestions and participating in
+ design discussions to steer things in the direction we want. Many upstream changes
+ in AOSP such as removing app access to low-level process, network, timing and
+ profiling information originated in the GrapheneOS project. The needs of the
+ upstream projects are often different from ours, so they'll often reimplement the
+ features in a more flexible way. We've almost always been able to move to using
+ the upstream features and even when we still need our own implementation it helps
+ to have the concepts/restrictions considered by the upstream project and apps
+ needing to be compatible with it. Getting features upstream often leads to an
+ improved user experience and app compatibility.</p>
