<h1><?php echo gettext("Libreboot project"); ?></h1>
<p>
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>
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
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.

<strong><em>FCC in the USA is trying to make free software in WiFi-enabled devices illegal!
Visit <a href="http://savewifi.org/">SaveWifi.org</a> to learn more, and to find out what you can do about it.
Europeans, read <a href="https://juliareda.eu/2015/10/dear-european-governments-dont-endanger-free-and-open-wifi-networks/">this article</a> and <a href="https://blog.tohojo.dk/2015/10/the-new-wifi-regulations-in-europe.html">this article</a>. These
new laws will have serious and damaging consequences for libreboot, if they are allowed to pass!</em></strong>

<h2>Laptops and servers with libreboot and GNU/Linux preinstalled</h2>
<p>
<a href="suppliers/">Laptops and servers with libreboot and GNU/Linux preinstalled</a> are also available.
</p>
<p>
These systems come with libreboot and GNU/Linux preinstalled, where everything works out of the box. This is useful, for those who
do not want to install the software on their own, but still want to use it. These systems are fully endorsed by the Free Software Foundation,
under their <em>Respects your Freedom</em> certification.
