-Libreboot originally began during December 2013, as a commercial effort by @uref{http://gluglug.org.uk/,Gluglug} to achieve @uref{https://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/endorsement/respects-your-freedom,RYF} endorsement for a modified ThinkPad X60 (the first system to ever be added to libreboot).
+GNU Libreboot is a free BIOS or UEFI replacement (@uref{https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html,free as in freedom});
+libre @i{boot firmware} that initializes the hardware and starts a bootloader for your operating
+system.
+It's also an open source BIOS, but open source @uref{https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html,fails} to
+promote freedom; @i{please call libreboot @strong{@uref{https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html,free software}}}.
+Since 14 May 2016, Libreboot is part of the @uref{https://www.gnu.org/,GNU project}.

+Libreboot originally began during December 2013, as a commercial effort by the @uref{https://minifree.org/,Ministry of Freedom} to achieve @uref{https://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/endorsement/respects-your-freedom,RYF} endorsement for a modified ThinkPad X60 (the first system to ever be added to libreboot).
Back then, the name @emph{libreboot} didn't exist; the project was nameless, referring to itself as a @emph{deblobbed version of coreboot}. The project named itself libreboot at some point during early 2014, and has since rapidly expanded to support more hardware and become more user-friendly.
