Libreboot Forked

A fork of Libreboot was announced at the FSF's LibrePlanet conference. It's been created to restore software freedom by removing the binary blobs that had been added. It lives at https://libreboot.at/
It's important to uphold the principles of software freedom - Let's celebrate this effort to uphold the four freedoms.

I applaud the philosophy behind this effort, however, it might be better to call it something other than 'libreboot' to avoid lumping even more confusion onto an already, perhaps purposefully, confusing subject. The parallel web site also seems more than little petty and references typically dated information from FSF, e.g., https://ryf.fsf.org/categories/laptops
As far as I can determine, Libiquity has been defunct for some time and Technoethical doesn't provide anything resembling customer service, including shipping of actual products. Please feel free to correct if inaccurate.
The Libreboot name sounds good to me. Any confusion, if it exists, arose when osboot was renamed to libreboot and continued to use the name, despite not being libre. Renaming the original project to "liebreboot" could be a solution or going back to the osboot name. This current project *is* libreboot both in terms of code lineage and in alignment of values and are the rightful people to continue on using the name.

Agreed re: reverting back to osboot for Leah's work. 'Liebreboot' made me chuckle. :)
Is this new project accepting donations ?
The libreboot.at site is giving a 404 error message. Are there any updates on this fork?
