1 % Should Canoeboot become GNU Canoeboot?
2 % Leah Rowe
3 % 12 May 2024

5 As many readers know, Libreboot abandoned the GNU FSDG policy in November 2022,
6 instead opting for a [different policy](policy.md) allowing blobs only under
7 the most limited circumstances, to allow newer machines to be supported from
8 coreboot. This policy of Libreboot will remain.
9
10 However, a minority of people disliked this move, and are yearning for a
11 project much like the old one. Libreboot used to be entirely blob-free; coreboot
12 is otherwise free software, but requires blobs on some mainboards, so Libreboot
13 previously could not support all mainboards from Coreboot.
14
15 I've been maintaining my own fork of Libreboot since October 2023, called
16 Canoeboot. See:
17
18 <https://canoeboot.org/>
19
20 With the recent Canoeboot 20240510 release, I've decided: Canoeboot should
21 become a GNU project.
22
23 Therefore, I sent GNU Eval an email requesting that they review it, laying the
24 case for GNU membership. This will apply to *Canoeboot*, not Libreboot, since
25 Canoeboot is the only one of the two that fully complies with their policies.
26
27 That email is published here (replies will not be published):
28
29 <https://canoeboot.org/news/gnu.html>
30
31 In it, I make a strong case in support of membership, and I encourage members
32 of the public to also voice their opinions about this topic. Therefore, I have
33 publicised this link in several places:
34
35 Thread on FSF LibrePlanet mailing list:
36 <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-discuss/2024-05/msg00001.html>
37
38 Thread on my Mastodon account:
39 <https://mas.to/@libreleah/112428793049670713>
40
41 Thread on Trisquel forums (FSF endorsed GNU+Linux distro, and de-facto stomping
42 ground for many debates within the FSF community):
43
44 <https://trisquel.info/en/forum/should-gnu-boot-become-gnu-canoeboot>
45
46 Discussion welcome!
47
48 I'm taking a very much hands-off approach with this; I've sent the initial
49 email and asked the public what they think, so it's up to them to say what
50 they think.
51
52 Whether Canoeboot is accepted or not, it will continue operating along its
53 current course, providing a viable coreboot distro for diehard purisms who
54 adhere to the FSF and GNU project.
55
56 I've always believed absolutely in the Four Freedoms, as defined by the GNU
57 Free Software Definition; Libreboot merely takes a different approach these
58 days in implementing it, while Canoeboot takes an approach that is precisely
59 in line with that of the FSF. In so doing, I provide users with a choice of
60 which vision they prefer, and I try as best I can to faithfully serve both
61 communities.
62
63 That's all for now. I'm probably expecting that nothing will come of this, but
64 the intend is there. I'd be very happy though if they say yes!
