We will be updating our website in order to make anyone understand what's
still not free on our devices, but in the meantime we supply the firmware
with cleaned ME and the list of not-yet-freed-pieces is the following: ME,
FSP, microcode, VGAROM, VBT (Video Bios Table), xHCI.

Hi Everyone,
My name is Luis Da Costa and I'm the CEO of a Portuguese startup company,
free software oriented, called Libretrend. I'm also a Trisquel member for
over 6 years.
I started here as a student interested in Free Software, then I launched the
first Librebox in 2014 which was free
Before anything thank you for this honest and complete message.
I understand what you mean, but at the same time I have some problems trying
to solve what for me wasn't a problem until I saw all those comments. We
dedicate to Free Software but for now we can't propose fully free hardware
Excellent talk, I think that you got all the important points. But that host
:) Good job once again.
Our goal is to provide Free Software and Hardware. We have a long road until

hardware running that same BIOS, and unfortunately there is a
Our name is LibreTrend because we dedicate to Free Software and Hardware, our
first computer has a name which is a mixture of our brand name (LibreTrend)

For now the LibreBox is a small computer with a Free Software
I understand the misunderstanding, but as said in a earlier comment it's a
mix of our brand name (LibreTrend) and what the computer actually is from the
outside (a Box). This is why it's called the LibreBox. If our brand name
would be SuperTrend it would be the SuperBox :)
Unfortunately we didn't had a lot of luck trying to create a Libre (or
partially Libre) bios for the LibreBox, so we had to put that idea in standby
for now. But it is one of our main goals.
