A while ago Graphene OS diverged from Coppperhead OS. What are their current differences?


CopperheadOS is a proprietary fork of legacy GrapheneOS code with most of the legacy hardening dropped due to lack of proper maintenance and it includes no substantial hardening. It also includes tracking in the updater to enforce their subscription fees (which is an exorbitant amount of money by the way, $150 for 3 months).

It's now a scam project focused on attacking GrapheneOS and harassing developers, as evident throughout this very thread with their usage of sockpuppet accounts.

Nice first party links. The Copperhead CEO challenged Daniel to validate the legacy/tracking claims publicly and is supposedly willing to put $50,000 to prove it

No, it's a publicity stunt. James has no interest in auditing CopperheadOS.

Your claims about our features are unsupported.

You also literally linked a cease and desist letter from our lawyers telling another member of your group to stop this kind of crap.


Nowhere because to get someplace one actually needs a business model and not just idealism.


someone probably said this to stallman and tovalds
