Hello! I have been sitting on top of this since a year, and now is the perfect time to voice it out. Enough is enough! I have been on the lookout...

I’m specifically interested in those instances where Micay/GrapheneOS tried to pressure other projects to stop using their code, because this would indicate that GrapheneOS is not truly free (libre) software as it is believed to be. This image clearly insinuates that he used this type of threat against DivestOS and this post from TimSchumi (LineageOS team member) suggests it’s a regular occurrence with them.

He also requested that Bromite remove all GrapheneOS/Vanadium related code, while he seems to walk that back later (and clarifies it’s not a legal demand) he does threaten to change the license in his initial post here.

I have provided all the possible evidence, being the most reasonable and fierce critic of GrapheneOS and its developer/community practices. This is all the evidence we have, and it should be enough. They are even vote manipulating this post on Lemmy, a platform where they do not even engage with people.
