    I’m genuinely confused.

    The creator of Libreboot created GNU Boot to help them (who?), but he also states it’s an old, bug ridden version, then receives a takedown notice from them (again, someone not GNU or FSF, but a French company?) so he rebrands GNU Boot to non-GeNUIneboot) and the 5th link on that website is a link to GNU Boot page on the Libreboot site.

    What is going on?

      Brodie Robertson did a good recap on the whole ordeal.

        Thank you, that does explain it all.
