fsf has never had any say over libreboot; i have. it was
all me, but i used to be part of their cult. i no longer
am.
this is housecleaning.

ditto is an understatement
that time (coldboot war) is over. gnuboot is a dead project.
fuck canoeboot. it served its purpose.
i'll probably do a few more canoeboot releases but i don't
want anyone hearing about it. its only purpose was to one-up
the gnu project when they started gnuboot, after they
previously tried to hostile-fork libreboot under the same name.
libreboot won. and canoeboot is inferior garbage. people should
use libreboot, heads, ownerboot, mrchromebook <-- those are
serious coreboot distros. gnuboot and canoeboot are pure garbage.
i will not promote garbage.

the substance remains unaltered, because the same points
are made more succinctly later on in the article
this change makes the policy document flow better, for the
reader, conveying the message much more clearly
mistakes made during osbwww->lbmk merge have been corrected
mostly a few search/replace errors, and deleted pages that have since
been restored, or pages that were incorrectly scrubbed are now full; for
example, pages that said there are no releases yet (from osboot) have
been replaced with the version from libreboot that links to release archives,
which *do* exist in libreboot
i generally fixed all other minor issues with paragraphs that i found, where
the paragraphs made sense in osboot.org but did not so on libreboot.org
this is all of my fixes, after auditing the recent merge. no point splitting
them up. just patch it up and go!
the substance of the message is no different, but the message is now much more
effective and the reader is less likely to turn away; much of the arguments
are emotionally driven, as opposed to factual, so using such "insulting"
language is probably not a good idea
my motivation is to encourage the fsf to improve, not to attack it. the fsf
should work with the community, not against it; similarly, libreboot and
osboot should not be seen to attack the fsf. however, constructive criticism
is ok, and that is entirely the purpose of this article
