the term "coreboot distro" is being popularised, by my
design, and i want libreboot to be number one when people
search the term.

the statement in question was true when we only supported
up to intel haswell platform; the newer platforms still need
some more work

Patrick Steinhardt did the original work, importing PHC Argon2id
into GRUB; this fact was unintentionally excluded from the
Libreboot documentation.
Ax333l imported it into GRUB on the AUR, and Nicholas Johnson later
rebased it for GRUB 2.12, for use by the Libreboot project.
Credit where credit is due. The principle of the matter is that
I apologise for this oversight. It has now been corrected.

the instructions were a bit crap, for example it wasn't
clear that you can get the firmawre pre-compiled in libreboot
releases. adapt it accordingly.

Licensing is already mentioned in the source code
for nvmutil. Putting it in the documentation just
means that it'll go out of date over time, as it
already has; instead of updating it, remove it.
Documentation is under the GNU licensing that Libreboot
documentation uses.

lbmk hacks PATH now to deal with this
see lbmk patch from 5 January 2025:
* 411fb697dfc set up python in PATH, ensuring that it is python3
python3 is dealt with automatically now, so the user
doesn't have to do it

The "who" page is redundant and has been removed, since
contrib listed the same information.
I will re-redirect who->contrib in Libreboot's httpd

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.
