What fun.

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?
