    That information you posted about Spender and GRsecurity is false. That isn’t why the patches were removed. The project is in good standing and contact with Spender.

    Also, your comment about crashing and burning the Copperhead project is blatantly false as well. The other business partner attempted a hostile takeover that was rebuffed.

    This blog post that they have posted across the fediverse, and multiple other platforms is a near complete fabrication of the timeline and what actually occurred. Anyone who has gone to GitHub to look at it has found that maltfield’s claims are baseless and they are acting inappropriate childish and unacceptable manner.

    You are just saying things without a shred of proof and no one is asking for any. So here I am: Please provide proof of all of these claims.

        Here is the information about Spender and GRsecurity copied from my other post:

        It was after GRsecurity became private that they had an issue with people making upstream security contributions, particularly upstreaming anything from the GRsecurity patches. They had disagreements about that, and then moved past it and are on good terms now.

        It’s absolutely ridiculous to claim that Micay has anything to do with them making things private.

        https://grsecurity.net/announce https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10126319

        It was Wind River, owned by Intel, which was the main offender for upstreaming the patches. Micay was the one who introduced GRsecurity in Arch Linux and did all the integration it had for PaX exceptions and the start of RBAC support (systemd was an issue at the time). It was afterwards once it became private that it was awkward because they didn’t want people upstreaming or maintaining ports of their work but at the time Micay was maintaining GRsecurity in Arch Linux and GrapheneOS (then called CopperheadOS) was using the PaX subset for kernel hardening, so there were existing uses of it to try to keep going in some way.

      Hello Daniel. Why do you keep creating alts and then calling everything fake news with no proof besides “google it yourself”?

      You’re drinking the strcat Koolaid. There was no take over. His business partner was mearly looking at avenues of monetization and dipshit blew a fuse.

        Copperhead OS was supposed to be independent of the Copperhead company. They were not in the right to just take over the infrastructure and claim ownership or copyright of the code.
