Leak confirms GrapheneOS & Motorola partnership for non-Pixel hardware - PiunikaWeb

Something I’ve been thinking about: independent security projects often face pressure once corporate partnerships or funding enter the picture.

Does GrapheneOS have any structural safeguards to ensure development priorities remain community-driven if hardware vendors become more involved?

I’m not assuming there’s a problem — just interested in how projects like this avoid the “venture capital influence” problem that has affected other open source initiatives.

This is how a functioning capitalist system should work. Companies competing against each other for the benefit of the consumer.
