+ <p>GrapheneOS is a collaborative open source project, not a company. It's used and

+ <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.</p>
+ <p>GrapheneOS was founded by Daniel Micay in late 2014. It started as a solo project
+ was subsequently sponsored by a company that is no longer associated with it. The
+ copyright for GrapheneOS code is entirely owned by the GrapheneOS developers and is
+ made available under OSI approved Open Source licenses. All of the code written by
+ people under contract with the former sponsor was removed from the project due to
+ becoming obsolete, long before it was known as GrapheneOS. The code that remains from
+ the previous era is entirely owned by Daniel Micay, was never written under any
+ contracts or employment agreements, was never assigned to any company or organization
+ and was the continuation of the original independent open source project. The former
+ sponsor attempted to take over the project through coercion, but they were rebuked,
+ and since then they've taken to fraudulently claiming ownership and authorship of our
+ work which has no basis in fact. The 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 it through any means necessary to support their failing
+ business. This paragraph was reluctantly included here despite wanting to move
+ forwards and will be expanded if necessary.</p>

- <p>GrapheneOS is a privacy / security research and engineering project that has been
- under way for over 5 years. It recently became rebranded as GrapheneOS and is taking a
- different direction based on obtaining funding for the research and development work
- as a non-profit open source project rather than being a company. The reborn project is
- still in a very early stage and lots of the past work on privacy and security has not
- yet been restored for the new incarnation of the OS.</p>
- <p>The grapheneos.org site is still being put together. It will have lots of
- additional documentation and tutorials in the future along with coverage of various
- software, firmware and hardware privacy/security topics.</p>
- <p>GrapheneOS is being supported with funding and developers from various companies
- and other organizations interested in contributing to this shared base for a feature
- rich private and secure mobile operating system able to run many existing
- applications. It will take more time to organize and deploy these resources in order
- for the project to have a strong development team with proper infrastructure behind
- it.</p>
