<p>
Libreboot is a free BIOS or UEFI replacement (<a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free as in freedom</a>);
libre <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
promote freedom; <em>please call libreboot <strong><a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a></strong></em>. <a href="docs/index.html#why">Learn more</a>
</p>
<p>
Many people use <a href="https://gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary/">non-free</a> 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 building
a world where everyone can use, study, adapt and share software, with true control and ownership over their technology.
</p>
<p>
Libreboot provides a fully automated build system and installation process, with documentation written for non-technical users,
in an attempt to make coreboot as easy to use as possible. ROM images are provided, along with utilities, all built from the
publicly distributed source code.
