From 90804582a8df8824f82fd1757dd40487ddac34a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leah Rowe Date: Sun, 5 Jan 2025 12:05:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] further clarification of intent people sometimes have very black-or-white thinking, so it's important to put them in the right frame of mind. libreboot's documentation is very carefully crafted along the narrative: if free software can be used, it must be used. the purpose of libreboot is precisely to provide free software exclusively, when possible, on any given mainboard. it is therefore paramount that any reference to PSDG must be made while stressing those values in the most unambiguous way possible, because otherwise people will make wrong assumptions; for example, our friends from massuchussets sometimes claim that we are a proprietary software project. which is laughable, but their propaganda is very powerful, so ours needs to be even stronger.
