It is difficult to understand the GNU Operating System's software development
model. All the development seems to have been done at no cost to the Free
Software Foundation and then the code was released under the GPL (and
copyright was assigned to FSF? http://live.gnome.org/CopyrightAssignment How
does it make it into the package list?
http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html#allgnupkgs
or the Gnome Foundation List? Who can decide to relicense/dual license a
package).
It seems that Coreboot is no exception, programmer charity to support an
ideal.
Hopefully, one of the Coreboot developers (past or future), or companies
sponsoring Coreboot, will reach out and offer their talents and services
gratis, in charity, pro bono, to develop mainboards that are desired by
ThinkPenguin, InaTux, and Los Alamos Computers.
This shouldn't cost any money or require resources from the vendors
distributing computers with Trisquel pre-installed.
Maybe one of the team at Google Summer of Code could work on this.
