Indeed.
The new terms, cc-by-nc:
- CopperheadOS is now officially licensed under
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode
If necessary, further changes will happen to make it sustainable.

There is also this:
- We're going to be keeping some major in-development features internal
until we're confident that the new licensing is going to be respected.

I was considering getting a 2016 Nexus to run CopperheadOS on, thinking
that Google might sell last years phones off a bit cheaper after
lanuching their latest ones, but they simply pulled the old phones from
their site.
All the best
