If they are going to compile Coreboot for every motherboard they use, does this mean we could run Coreboot on newer hardware too? Are their efforts FOSS?

Coreboot and Libreboot efforts have all but stopped other than Google and System76 - I’m just wondering why the community doesn’t seem to pick up alongside such efforts for newer motherboards.

Cheers

    Are you going to add support for the new mobos? I’m not :P it’s the open source dream. I think manufacturers should contribute to coreboot and use it, and probably will eventually. Think of the savings in licensing cost :P plus they get free labour from the community sometimes.
