Small victory lap: 1) Block designed COPA to keep foundational bitcoin tech open for all. 2) We kept hosting the WP and chose not to be intimidated by Wright’s C&D letters. 3) In 2021, COPA filed a lawsuit to stop the harassing C&Ds, the results of which came down today.
If you’re tired of grant tweets and patent trolls, we’ve got great news. Today Square is announcing the formation of the Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA). As you know, from Square Crypto to Cash App, Square is in the fight to keep bitcoin and crypto free and open.
