> Two People created CopperheadOS, one of them now works on GrapheneOS.

No, that's not true. GrapheneOS is the continuation of the project by the original development team. There aren't any developers who stuck with Copperhead. The project was created 1 year before Copperhead existed as a company.

> The security mitigations developed for those were incorporated upstream into Android, decreasing the attack surface.

https://grapheneos.org/features is a list of the current features differentiating it from AOSP. It doesn't list the many things we've gotten into upstream projects, since they aren't differences anymore.



I'm sorry, if i misrepresented the great stuff you did and still do. English is the first foreign language i learned.

"Two People created CopperheadOS, they had a disagreement. One of them continues to work on it under the name GrapheneOS."

Would this describe it better?


See grapheneos.org/history/copperheados and verify it for yourself using Github graphs and other resources.

A better description would be "One person handled development of the project and other person CEO'd the sponsor company. The CEO attempted to hijack the project and the developer eventually resumed the project under the name GrapheneOS."

A little longer, but more accurate :)
