Goodbye to GNU Libreboot

Sounds like half the story. The libreboot website says that they left GNU to protest transgender discrimination at the FSF.[0] [0] https://libreboot.org/

To make this even more confusing, the FSF disputes that there was harrasment [1] and one Libreboot contributor states that the Libreboot maintainer did not speak on behalf of the whole project [2].

My hope is that the project continues irrespective of its relationship to other organizations. It's pretty damn important.

It might be shocking, but I don't necessarily disagree with it. Difficult topic for sure, runs kind of close to eugenics.
