**UPDATE, 27 October 2023: The Censored Libreboot and nonGeNUine Boot websites have merged
into a new project, called Canoeboot. Canoeboot is a new Libreboot-authored

providing releases under the old [Binary Blob Elimination

**UPDATE 21 October 2023: [Libreboot 20231021](libreboot20231021.md) is out,
and it's vastly superior to Libreboot 20230625 or nonGeNUine Boot 20230717;
and GNU Boot 0.1 RC is still not much different than the state GNU Boot was in
at the time of the article below. GNU Boot 0.1 RC (the latest version of GNU
Boot as of 21 October 2023) is essentially just Libreboot 20220710 plus patches
I made for them enabling KGPE-D16 to build correctly on modern Linux distros.**
**UPDATE, 27 October 2023: The Censored Libreboot and nonGeNUine Boot websites have merged
into a new project, called Canoeboot. Canoeboot is a new Libreboot-endorsed
spinoff project (official fork).**
**It's likely that another FSDG-compatible variant of Libreboot will be made,
again for fun, based on Libreboot 20231021. Watch this space! tl;dr Libreboot
is vastly superior in the October 2023 revision compared to June 2023, and
the June 2023 revision is still superior to GNU Boot (still uses newer coreboot
revisions, has better error handling in the build system, builds more efficiently
and is generally just better, because it's literally about 8 months ahead in
development, and supports more hardware such as gru chromebooks with u-boot or
the Dell Latitude E6400 - which GNU Boot still doesn't support. Libreboot today
is now lightyears ahead, and the recent October 2023 release has coreboot
revisions 2 years ahead of the ones used in GNU Boot's default coreboot tree (in Libreboot 20230625 and nonGeNUine Boot 20230717, it's still about 18 months ahead).**

**Two years. Anyway, the original article is as follows (prior to the above):**
The purpose of the original article below was to promote my own FSDG-compliant
fork of Libreboot 20230625, which I released as Censored-Libreboot 20230710 and
then nonGeNUine Boot 20230717, with the intent that *GNU Boot* re-use the work,
but they never re-used any of it except for my D16 build fixes, and one or two
minor things.

The [Censored Libreboot c20230710 release](censored-libreboot20230710.md)
release provides a clear example as to the merits of this policy, by showing
what Libreboot would be if it *didn't* adopt this policy.
The *[Canoeboot project](https://canoeboot.org/)* is an official sister project
of Libreboot, that implements the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines
or *GNU FSDG* as policy, instead of the policy below. Canoeboot is maintained by
Leah Rowe, the same person who founded the Libreboot project, and who maintains
Libreboot releases to this day. Criticism of GNU FSDG is provided, in the
article below.
Canoeboot provides a clear example as to the merits of the policy seen below, by
showing what Libreboot would be if it *didn't* adopt that policy; it is vastly
inferior to Libreboot, due to weaker hardware support and less freedom of choice
for users. Canoeboot is engineered to a high standard, basing off of each
Libreboot release, but you should still use *Libreboot*. Canoeboot is only
a *proof of concept*.
And now, without further ado,
