Thank you very much. Not sure why my search didnt return hits... i need to switch back to google from duck duck go i think...
@freemo I just tested it in duckduckgo and it's the 3rd result.
I would suggest refining your searches rather than using google.
All GNU software is listed on https://gnu.org/software/ after the first release btw.

@Suiseiseki You are right, i just did the same exact search again and it is the third hit... not sure how i missed that.
not (just) grub, no. it's a new gnu project, still release candidate, a distribution of boot firmware for motherboards, the stuff that loads the boot loader. the flashable images contain grub though, because it's convenient.

you may have heard of GNU Libreboot before. it used to be free software, but it left GNU and then forked things up to embrace, expand and enable binary blobs to take away the freedom from its users. GNU boot is the continuation of what Libreboot should have never ceased to be, and thus the deserving recipient of all the praise and recommendation we used to place on Libreboot back when it deserving of that name, before it became Lie-breboot
