canoeboot follows GNU policy, but that's just because GNU policy makes sense for the canoeboot project... since it is designed to follow GNU policy. see? however, canoeboot is not aligned to GNU or the FSF. Canoeboot is aligned to Canoeboot. the GNU project and the FSF do not have a monopoly on free software dogma, and they didn't even invent it; BSD pre-dates the GNU project, and the principle of it started since the very early days of computing. the FSF merely got a bunch of lawyers involved and formalised it. the FSF and GNU project have historically been hostile to my works, and i'm not currently in any conflict with them, but they will never truly have my respect because of that. so it is important that i speak their language, which i do otherwise agree with, but that i otherwise do not promote them in any way. almost all references to them have now been removed, except where strategically important. they tried to hostile-fork libreboot, and their fork still exists, so my distrust of them still exists. canoeboot's purpose is simply to compete with them, to be superior to them on a technical level, complying with all of their policies and giving their fans what they want, thus denying them any power in practise. Canoeboot is thus a buffer between Libreboot and the FSF. i pretty much nailed it in the last iteration of this change, so i will simply copy that text from that commit. text: when i made peace with fsf back in february 2025, it was never my intention to align with fsf. i feel that the changes i made went too far. i am returning to a lack of FSDG promotion; Canoeboot will FULLY COMPLY WITH the GNU FSDG, but shall not promote it. that is why, for example, it has its own *Binary Blob Extermination Policy*, which implements, in substance, the exact same laws as GNU FSDG. GNU is not my friend. what happened in February 2025 was a ceasefire, to prevent further escalation of the *Cold Boot War*. this change is more like, zerokelvin boot war. keep GNU at ARM64's distance, is what i mean to say. they're not my enemy. but they're not my friend, and i will not promote their dogma. canoeboot repeats their same dogma, but without censorship; for example the Blob Extermination Policy openly and boldly tells the user all the problems associated with excluding CPU microcode updates, while continuing to exclude them. GNU will *lie to you*, by suggesting that they are not required; they are required, and not using them is foolish, but Canoeboot is made for fools. Libreboot will always be superior, in every way.
