 About the libreboot project
 ===========================
 
-Libreboot is a free BIOS or UEFI replacement ([free as in
-freedom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software)); 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software)***.
-
-Libreboot originally began during December 2013, as a commercial effort
-by the [Ministry of Freedom](https://minifree.org) to achieve RYF
-endorsement for a modified ThinkPad X60 (the first system to ever be
-added to libreboot), which it did then achieve.
-
-Back then, the name *libreboot* didn't exist; the project was nameless,
-referring to itself as a *deblobbed version of coreboot*. The project
-named itself libreboot at some point during early 2014, and has since
-rapidly expanded to support more hardware and become more user-friendly.
