|Full description=Libreboot is a distribution of coreboot with proprietary blobs removed.
Project goals
+
Like coreboot, libreboot is boot firmware intended as a free 'BIOS' replacement for your computer.
 
 
The goal of LibreBoot is to create a version of coreboot that contains no proprietary software.
 
 
 
This means removing all blobs from coreboot, and also removing (disabling) Kconfig rules of those machines (such as the Chromebooks, at the time of writing) that won't run without blobs.
 
Our project aims to provide two things:
 
 
 
Copyright and License
 
---------------------
 
 
 
The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual
 
developers and companies. Please check the individual source files for details.
 
 
 
coreboot is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
 
Some files are licensed under the "GPL (version 2, or any later version)",
 
and some files are licensed under the "GPL, version 2". For some parts, which
 
were derived from other projects, other (GPL-compatible) licenses may apply.
 
Please check the individual source files for details.
 
 
 
This makes the resulting coreboot images licensed under the GPL, version 2.
 
 
 
 
 
    100% free software repository, allowing users to build their own releases from our liberated sources.
 
    Regular releases for selected machines — community supported and made for easy distribution.
 
 
 
Our repository remains a work-in-progress but early releases for the IBM ThinkPad X60 are available.

'Libre' means 'liberty'. Libreboot is not a reboot library!
