In +order to do this, many pages, and sources of information, were removed or +heavily re-worded (censored) in this version, compared to regular Libreboot. The +censored information/code would have never been permitted, under Libreboot's +previous [Binary Blob Extermination Policy](https://web.archive.org/web/20221107235850/https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html) + +Support for many mainboards has been removed, in this censored version. The +website that you're reading +is based on the regular Libreboot website at the time of the +[Libreboot 20230625 release](https://libreboot.org/news/libreboot20230625.html). + +Changes made in *Censored Libreboot* +==================================== + +Almost all of the website changes can be seen here, in this diff: + + +The changes are so vast (about 8000 lines of text removed), that not all of them +show by default in the above link, but you can click "Show More" at the bottom +of that page. Codeberg is Libreboot's hosting provider for Git repositories, and +the website is hosted in Git. + +For a list of code changes, you can refer to the [Censored Libreboot c20230710 +release announcement](https://libreboot.org/news/censored-libreboot20230710.html) + +The above link, and this page, demonstrate the *damage* that could be done to +Libreboot, in the name of cult-like ideological purity. Libreboot's policy is +simply to help as many people as possible install coreboot, with as few (or no) +binary blobs as possible. + +Deleted web pages, in *Censored Libreboot*: +------------------------------------------- + +All of these pages, which exist in the regular Libreboot website, +do not exist in the *censored* Libreboot website: + +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* +* + +Heavily modified pages (not deleted) +------------------------------------ + +These pages have been modified heavily (a few of these aren't pages, but are +instead files like pandoc templates, used by Libreboot's static site +generator, namely the [Untitled Static Site Generator](https://untitled.vimuser.org)): + +* [/contrib.md](/contrib.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/contrib.uk.md](/contrib.uk.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/bsd/index.md](/docs/bsd/index.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/build/index.md](/docs/build/index.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/build/index.uk.md](/docs/build/index.uk.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/hardware/e6400.md](/docs/hardware/e6400.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/hardware/ga-g41m-es2l.md](/docs/hardware/ga-g41m-es2l.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/hardware/index.md](/docs/hardware/index.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/hardware/kgpe-d16.md](/docs/hardware/kgpe-d16.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/hardware/mac\_address.md](/docs/hardware/mac_address.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/install/chromebooks.md](/docs/install/chromebooks.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/install/e6400.md](/docs/install/e6400.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/install/index.md](/docs/install/index.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/install/kgpe-d16.md](/docs/install/kgpe-d16.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/install/nvmutil.md](/docs/install/nvmutil.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/install/spi.md](/docs/install/spi.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/install/spi\_generic.md](/docs/install/spi_generic.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/linux/index.md](/docs/linux/index.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/maintain/index.md](/docs/maintain/index.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/maintain/testing.md](/docs/maintain/testing.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/uboot/index.md](/docs/uboot/index.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/docs/uboot/uboot-archlinux.md](/docs/uboot/uboot-archlinux.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/download.md](/download.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/download.uk.md](/download.uk.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/faq.md](/faq.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/faq.uk.md](/faq.uk.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/footer.de.include](/footer.de.include) (censored version), versus original: +* [/footer.include](/footer.include) (censored version), versus original: +* [/footer.uk.include](/footer.uk.include) (censored version), versus original: +* [/footer.zh-cn.include](/footer.zh-cn.include) (censored version), versus original: +* [/index.de.md](/index.de.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/index.fr.md](/index.fr.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/index.md](/index.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/index.uk.md](/index.uk.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/index.zh-cn.md](/index.zh-cn.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/news/MANIFEST](/news/MANIFEST) (censored version), versus original: +* [/news/audit.md](/news/audit.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/news/e6400.md](/news/e6400.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/news/e6400.uk.md](/news/e6400.uk.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/news/usa-libre-part2.md](/news/usa-libre-part2.html) (censored version), versus original: +* [/template.de.include](/template.de.include) (censored version), versus original: +* [/template.include](/template.include) (censored version), versus original: +* [/template.uk.include](/template.uk.include) (censored version), versus original: +* [/template.zh-cn.include](/template.zh-cn.include) (censored version), versus original: +
