- Libreboot is a free BIOS or UEFI firmware replacement (<a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free as in freedom</a>).
- We refer to libreboot as <em>boot firmware</em>, low-level software
- that runs when you turn your computer on, which initializes the hardware and starts a bootloader for your operating system. <a href="docs/index.html#why">Learn more</a>
+ Libreboot is a free BIOS or UEFI replacement (<a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free as in freedom</a>);
+ low-level <em>boot firmware</em> that initializes the hardware and starts a bootloader for your operating
+ system.
+ It's also an open source BIOS, but open source <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html">fails</a> to

- Libreboot also qualifies as an open source BIOS or UEFI firmware replacement, but we prefer the term <em><a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a></em>. Open source merely talks about
- access to source code, but <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html">fails</a> to teach users to value their freedom.
+ Most people rely on <a href="https://gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary/">proprietary</a> boot firmware, even if they
+ use <a href="https://www.gnu.org/distros/">GNU/Linux</a>. Libreboot joins <a href="https://gnu.org/">GNU</a> in creating
+ a world where all can use, study, adapt and share software, providing true control and ownership over technology.

- Most people rely on <a href="https://gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary/">proprietary</a> boot firmware, even if they use free
- operating systems like <a href="https://www.gnu.org/distros/">GNU/Linux</a>.
- Libreboot follows the <a href="https://gnu.org/">GNU project</a> in attempting to create
- a world where everyone has the freedom to use, study, adapt and share software. In other words: to truly own and control the technology that they use.
