<p>In late 2015, a company was incorporated which became the primary sponsor of the

- <p>In 2018, the former sponsor 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
