-Libreboot project
-
-Libreboot documentation is under docs/
-The website is https://libreboot.org/
-License can be found in COPYING and through parts of the source tree.
-
-Libreboot is a free BIOS or UEFI replacement (free as in freedom); libre boot
-firmware that initializes the hardware and starts a bootloader for your
-operating system. It's also an open source BIOS, but open source fails to
-promote freedom; please call libreboot free software.
-
-Why use libreboot?
-
-Many people use non-free boot firmware, even if they use GNU+Linux. Non-free
-BIOS/UEFI firmware often contains backdoors, can be slow and have severe bugs,
-where you are left helpless at the mercy of the developers; you have no freedom
-over your computing. By contrast, libreboot is building a world where
-everyone can use, study, adapt and share software, with true control and
-ownership over their technology. In other words, you should use Libreboot for
-your freedom's sake!
-
-Libreboot is faster, more secure and more reliable than most non-free firmware,
-and can provide many advanced features (such as encrypted /boot/, GPG signature
-checking before booting your kernel, ability to load an OS from the flash chip,
-and more).
-
-Libreboot's main upstream providers are coreboot (which we deblob, for hardware
-initialization), depthcharge (bootloader, and default libreboot payload on ARM),
-and GRUB (bootloader, and default libreboot payload on x86). We also
-integrate flashrom (for installing libreboot), and several of our own utilities,
-scripts and configuration files. All of this is integrated into a single,
-coherent package that is easy to use. We add our own patches to the various
-upstreams used, and where feasible try to merge upstream as much as possible.
-
-Libreboot provides a fully automated build system and installation process, with
-documentation written for non-technical users, in an attempt to make the
-software as easy to use as possible. ROM images are provided, along with
-utilities, all built from the publicly distributed source code.
