			<h1><?php echo $lbProjectNameCapitalized; ?> project</h1>
				<p>
					<?php echo $lbProjectNameCapitalized; ?> is a <a href="https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software">free</a> (libre)
					BIOS/UEFI replacement for your computer. Based on <a href="http://coreboot.org/">coreboot</a>, the aim is to distribute
					low-level boot firmware that is 100% free software. The project is aimed at users, attempting to make coreboot as easy to
					use as possible. <a href="docs/index.html#why">Learn more about <?php echo $lbProjectName; ?></a>.
				</p>
				<p>
					'Free' in this sense refers to freedom (liberty); read the full <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">Free Software definition</a>.

				<h1>But why? What is this all about?</h1>
					<p>
						We believe that everyone deserves the freedom to study, alter and improve technology,
						to use it freely without restriction. The goal is identical to that of the <a href="https://fsf.org/">Free Software Foundation</a>,
						which is to ensure that everything you need to do on a computer can be done exclusively
						with free software.
					</p>
					<p>
						<?php echo $lbProjectNameCapitalized; ?> also has many practical advantages over <a href="https://gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary/">proprietary</a> boot firmware, 
						such as faster boot speeds and better security. Since the source code is public and fully auditable,
						malicious features such as backdoors (common in proprietary firmware) are unlikely to exist. You can
						<a href="docs/gnulinux/index.html">install GNU/Linux with encrypted /boot/</a>,
						configure it to <a href="http://www.coreboot.org/GRUB2#signed_kernels">only boot
						kernels signed with your GPG key</a>, run a <a href="http://proteanos.com/">full operating system</a> directly
						from the flash chip (coming soon!), and more.

				<h1>Contributing to libreboot?</h1>

					<p>
						The instructions at <a href="download/#contrib">download/#contrib</a> show how to submit patches.
						The list of currently defined tasks is listed at <a href="gitdocs/tasks.html">gitdocs/tasks.html</a>.
						The gitdocs/ directory is also part of the git repository (it's a symlink to a working  repository), so
						you can also submit patches adding to that list of tasks.
