> random developers

Micay, of GrapheneOS and original creator of CopperheadOS, is not some random. They have pushed AOSP security ahead and have made many upstream contributions over the years.

I don't think he was the creator. None of the more reliable sources I see say that he is. They all say he was an employee.

I remember when Micay first released CopperheadOS. I spent most of early 2015 learning enough about kernels to eventually successfully port it to the OnePlus One in November of 2015 with near full PaX support. https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/DivestOS-Build/blob/c0083...

You're reading shit/publicly editable sources.

Micay originated the Android Hardening Project, I believe it was called, and is the brains behind what was CopperheadOS, and now the superior GrapheneOS.

He was also a pretty instrumental Rust developer.
