Great news! A fork of Libreboot has been created to restore software freedom by removing the binary blobs that had been added: https://libreboot.at/ This was announced at the @fsf#LibrePlanet conference. It's important to uphold the principles of software freedom - Let's celebrate this effort to uphold the four freedoms. #softwarefreedom#libreboot#fsf#libreplanet
@jordan The Libreboot name sounds good to me. Any confusion, if it exists, arose when osboot was renamed to libreboot and continued to use the name, despite not being libre. Renaming the original project to "liebreboot" could be a solution for that, or going back to the osboot name. This current project *is* libreboot both in terms of code lineage and in alignment of values and are the rightful people to continue on using the name.
@jxself@fsf Given there is another project under active development under that name, I do not think it is very nice to fork and then claim you're the "genuine" one
@jordan I respectfully disagree. The website is advocating for software freedom, and my response is simply stating my beliefs as a free software activist. Let's continue the conversation with an open mind and positive intentions. It's an example of freedoms #1 and #3 in action. #SoftwareFreedom#OpenConversation
