CopperheadOS was started by Daniel Micay in 2014 and he owns all of the code he wrote for it. He's a co-founder of Copperhead and still owns half of the company. He never assigned any copyright to Copperhead and work on the project was not done as an employee or as contract work.
It was explicitly agreed upon that the open source project would remain owned and control by Daniel Micay. It was explicitly agreed upon that there would be no copyright assignment.
Copperhead is trying to intimidate contributors to GrapheneOS and other open source projects.

They reach out to people to try intimidating them with legal threats along with manipulating them with their false narratives.
Copperhead forked our project, not the other way around. They turned it into a closed source product with tracking to enforce their expensive licensing.

Don't fall for their bogus claims and don't be intimidated by their threats. Reach out to us and we'll figure out how to help.
The continued attempts at intimidation show their weakness and desperation. They continue copying our code and depending on us while providing no value.
