+ <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 eliminate all proprietary software so that everything you need to do on a computer can be done
+ with exclusively free software.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <?php echo $lbProjectNameCapitalized; ?> also has many practical advantages over proprietary 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.
