So instead of making money, he decided to continue doing the exact same thing professionally for free? That doesn’t make sense.

Especially that copperhead os continued on living on his work..

According to Micay he made very little money from Copperhead. He now has over 1M in donations and $6000USD/month sponsorship from Github sponsors. Seems like a financial move rather than a virtuous one.

You are comparing the initial time of a startup with that of a long-running, successful open-source project which got there thanks to Micay’s work to the greatest degree.

He couldn’t have known that it would be successful alone with it.

You seem confused. Copperhead AFAIK existed since 2015. Daniel was fired in 2018. GrapheneOS has existed since 2020 when it was officially named GrapheneOS. It was named Android Hardening before that in 2019.

You can't conflate CopperheadOS as GrapheneOS or vice versa because GrapheneOS has changed over the years since the split. I think the ex business partner makes this same mistake.
