-                <p>The copyright for GrapheneOS code is entirely owned by the GrapheneOS developers
-                and is made available under OSI-approved Open Source licenses. The upstream licensing
-                is inherited for the modifications to those projects and MIT licensing is used for our
-                own standalone projects. GrapheneOS has never had any copyright assignment and the
-                developers have always owned their own contributions.</p>
-
-                <p>The tiny portion of the code written by people under contract with the former
-                sponsor has not been included in the project since it was ported from Android Oreo to
-                Pie in 2018. This code became obsolete and was no longer useful. The vast majority of
-                the code from the previous era was owned by Daniel Micay, with very few exceptions. It
-                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 code was originally published under the same permissive open
-                source licenses that are used by GrapheneOS today. Only a small portion of this
-                historical code is actually still in use today. Most has become obsolete or has been
-                replaced by rewrites taking better approaches than in the past.</p>
-
-                <p>There was an era from September 2016 until the project split from the former
-                sponsor in 2018 where non-commercial usage licensing was used for revisions to the
-                existing permissively licensed code. This was an attempt to prop up the sponsor that
-                was supposed to be supporting the open source project. This did not impact ownership
-                of the code and Daniel Micay has relicensed the portions of the code that are used by
-                GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS does not contain any code based on code under non-commercial
-                usage licensing. Great care was taken to avoid pulling in anything that was not solely
-                owned by Daniel Micay, which was the case for nearly everything in the project.</p>
+                <p>GrapheneOS is permissively licensed and has never used copyright assignment, so
+                the work is owned by the developers. See the
+                <a href="/faq#copyright-and-licensing">FAQ entry on copyright and licensing</a>
+                for more details.</p>
