@ -22,11 +22,12 @@ mainboards supported in Libreboot (in `lbmk.git` and in releases) can boot

with entirely free software, requiring *zero* blobs of any kind from *coreboot*.

The nuance of how Libreboot *implements* this policy is described in

the [Freedom Status](freedom-status.md) page. Although coreboot (which Libreboot

uses for hardware initialisation) *is* a free software project, certain binary

blobs are needed on some platforms, for things like raminit (memory controller

One exception made in that policy is that CPU microcode updates *must* be
