+ GitHub simply uses Free Software for its own benefit, releasing source code under a free license + only when suited to it's business goals; they are quite happy to violate the rights of their users, for profit. +
+ ++ By contrast, the libreboot project adheres strictly to the goals of the Free Software movement, which + seeks to eliminate proprietary software to the point where all software is free. +
+ ++ The opinions expressed by Tom Preston-Werner of GitHub are incompatible with those of + the libreboot project. Users and developers of free software are strongly advised not to use GitHub, for any of their projects. +
