   @mangeurdenuage this seems like quite immature stuff (and no, I'm not being transphobic). If I were GNU I'd just fork libreboot from before the shitstorm, rename it to "gnuboot" or whatever and find a new maintainer. Even if there is a genuine discrimination case underneath all of this why drag the entire community into it? Surely if it's a personal disagreement then  the relevant people should figure things out between themselves.

     @bob @mangeurdenuage That's assuming anyone cares enough about libreboot to want to take over maintainership and probably get in a lot of trouble with Ms Rowe.

     It's also about the technical capacities I think.
     Not everyone goes on hardware level dev.

     @verius @bob @mangeurdenuage When you give a project to GNU, part of the agreement is it is *theirs* now.  Seems like Rowe doesn't understand that, but then given she's acted less mature than the four year old kid one of my house mates has that's not terribly surprising.

     @mangeurdenuage Does libreboot contain actual development though? I thought it was just about removing proprietary bits from coreboot and adding GNUisms like Makefiles and texinfo.

     @verius @mangeurdenuage From what I read, apparently there's changes to build system and stuff, I'm guessing things that ease librifying.

     @maiyannah @bob @mangeurdenuage @verius It's different from project to project. GNU has FSF-owned (c) projects and non-FSF-owned projects.

     @mangeurdenuage @maiyannah Thanks for mentioning nano, I hadn't heard about that kerfuffle. Lots of discussion at http://qttr.at/1hnc (HN).

     @lnxw48 The #gnunano folk thought they had to assign copyright, got better informed. https://pumprock.net/clacke/note/YE0z5ZZiR5-2SwruGtOGOg
