It started as a solo project + incorporating his previous open source privacy/security work. The project initially + created a port of OpenBSD malloc to Android's Bionic libc and a port of the PaX kernel + patches to the kernels for the supported devices. It quickly expanded to having a + large set of homegrown privacy and security improvements, particularly low-level + hardening work on the compiler toolchain and Bionic. Work began on landing code + upstream in AOSP and other upstream projects. A substantial portion of these early + changes were either successfully landed upstream or heavily influenced the upstream + changes which replaced them. The project was able to move very quickly in these days + because there was so much low hanging fruit to address and it wasn't yet trying to + produce a highly robust, production quality OS.</p> + + <p>In late 2015, a company was incorporated which became the primary sponsor of the + project. GrapheneOS was previously known as CopperheadOS while it was sponsored by + this company. The intention was to use the company to build a business around + GrapheneOS selling support, contract work and customized proprietary variants of the + OS. The company was supposed to serve the needs of the open source project, rather + than vice versa. It was explicitly agreed that GrapheneOS would remain + independently owned and controlled by Daniel Micay. This company failed to live up + the promises and is no longer associated in any way with GrapheneOS. The company + ended up holding back the open source project and taking far more from it than was + provided to it.</p> + + <p>In 2018, the company was hijacked by the CEO who attempted to take over the project + through coercion, but they were rebuked. They seized the infrastructure and stole the + donations, but the project successfully moved on without them and has been fully + revived. Since then, they've taken to fraudulently claiming ownership and authorship + of our work, which has no basis in fact. They've tried to retroactively change the + terms of their involvement and rewrite the history of the project. These claims are + easily falsified through the public record and by people involved with the open source + project and the former sponsor. This former sponsor has engaged in a campaign of + misinformation and harassment of contributors to the project. Be aware that they are + actively trying to sabotage GrapheneOS and are engaging in many forms of attacks + against the project, the developers, contributors and supporters. Meanwhile, they + continue profiting from our open source work which they falsely claim as their own + creation.</p> + + <p>After splitting from the former sponsor, the project was rebranded to + AndroidHardening and then to GrapheneOS and it has continued down the original path of + being an independent open source project. It will never again be closely tied to any + particular sponsor or company.</p> + + <p>GrapheneOS now has multiple full-time and part-time developers supported by + donations and multiple companies collaborating with the project.</p> + + <section id="releases"> + <h2><a href="#releases">Releases</a></h2> + + <p>A history of releases for the current incarnation of GrapheneOS is available + via the <a href="/releases#changelog">releases changelog</a>.</p> + + <p>An archive of changelogs for the earlier releases is available via the + <a href="/history/legacy-changelog">legacy changelog page</a>.</p> + </section> + </main> + <footer> + <a href="/"><img src="/mask-icon.svg" width="512" height="512" alt=""/>GrapheneOS</a> + <ul id="social"> + <li><a href="https://twitter.com/GrapheneOS">Twitter</a></li> + <li><a href="https://github.com/GrapheneOS">GitHub</a></li> + <li><a href="https://reddit.com/r/GrapheneOS">Reddit</a></li> + <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/grapheneos/">LinkedIn</a></li> + </ul> + </footer> + </body> +</html> diff --git a/static/history/legacy-changelog.html b/static/history/legacy-changelog.html index 446f2e04..9eaf7847 100644 --- a/static/history/legacy-changelog.html +++ b/static/history/legacy-changelog.html @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ <li><a href="/faq">FAQ</a></li> <li><a href="/releases">Releases</a></li> <li><a href="/source">Source</a></li> - <li><a href="/history">History</a></li> + <li><a href="/history/">History</a></li> <li><a href="/articles/">Articles</a></li> <li><a href="/donate">Donate</a></li> <li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li> |
