+ <p>CopperheadOS was renamed to GrapheneOS in 2019. It was temporarily known as the
+ Android Hardening project in 2018 before a permanent name had been chosen. For more
+ details on why the project was renamed, see <a href="/history/">our history page</a>.
+ For the historical release notes of the original CopperheadOS, see
+ <a href="/history/legacy-changelog">our legacy changelog page</a>. The
+ <a href="https://reddit.com/r/CopperheadOS">/r/CopperheadOS subreddit</a> was
+ historically the central hub of the community along with a bridged IRC/Matrix channel
+ that's no longer available.</p>
+
+ <p>GrapheneOS is the continuation of the original open source project by the original
+ development team. Our <a href="/source">source code repositories</a> have been used
+ since CopperheadOS transitioned to being directly based on the Android Open Source
+ Project in 2015. The prior repositories predate the CopperheadOS branding and were
+ also owned by us. It can be confirmed that our repositories are the original ones from
+ the GitHub network graphs showing the forks over the years.</p>
+
+ <section id="ownership">
+ <h2><a href="#ownership">Ownership</a></h2>
+
+ <p>We own the historical CopperheadOS source code, documentation and accounts tied
+ to the open source project. Our legacy Twitter account still needs to be returned
+ to us so that it can be renamed and made into an archive.</p>
+
+ <p>Copperhead has no valid claim over the ownership of the source code. It was not
+ developed for them. They were involved as a sponsor for the work and had
+ permission to sell products based on it, similar to companies selling devices with
+ GrapheneOS. We've learned a lot of lessons from what happened and are being very
+ careful to avoid being strongly associated with any particular company in the
+ future.</p>

+ <h2><a href="#new-product">New closed source product reusing the legacy branding</a></h2>
+
+ <p>The new product branded as CopperheadOS is closed source and not associated with
+ the original project. They took our project's previous name and copied our legacy
+ source code and documentation. Attribution to us has been stripped away and they
+ pretend to be the ones who created it.</p>
+
+ <p>They've essentially stolen the identity of our open source project and have
+ invested substantial resources into misrepresenting GrapheneOS as being a new
+ project. They've built a business based on taking credit for research and
+ development not done by them. Substantial damage has been done to GrapheneOS
+ through an organized campaign of misinformation and harassment.</p>
