"You can help our project by informing people about this genuinely free version of Libreboot. Another way to help this project and take a stand for fully free software is to change URLs across the web from <libreboot.org> to <libreboot.at>, and to let people know that no other version of Libreboot is reliably free software."
"Libreboot was first released in 2013. It has been widely recommended in the free software community for the last nine years. In November 2022, “Libreboot” began to include non-libre code. We have made repeated efforts to continue collaboration with those developers to help their version of Libreboot remain libre, but that was not successful."
@strypey this seems to be a troll fork, aiming for something unrealistic but high-sounding to split the project (and inconsistent, if, for example, they use Debian that now ships non-free blobs by default). #LibreBoot policy page makes it abundantly clear why and how they allow non-free blobs https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html
As an outsider, I have seen Leah Rowe's project being targeted surreptiously like this more than once.
@strypey since Stallman's cancellation, I haven't seen any drive from FSF, so their hosting an announcement doesn't imply merit. It has been mostly adjacent individuals continuing to plow their lone furrows in libre tech. The pro-cancel folks have made impressive strides in tech but mostly in me-too projects.

I doubt it. I learned about this fork from a write-up about LibrePlanet on the FSF website:
