There's a lot of stuff going around. Not all of it is factually correct.
It claims Richard Stallman refused to let libreboot go, but I have been reading the archives of the gnu-prog-discuss mailing list. Stallman has not said anything at all.
A few GNU contributors said things. They don't speak for the GNU Project itself.
Claiming that the GNU Project refused to let libreboot go based on their responses seems to be mischaracterizing what happened in the mailing list thread.
And so: "The GNU Project" did not tell Leah anything about this yet... a few GNU contributors expressed personal opinions on a mailing list. That is all.
I don't have much of an opinion on Leah's original statements (because we outsiders don't know exactly what happened) but seeing this, it does make me wonder: If Leah can mischaracterize the conversation on gnu-prog-discuss, (since I have first hand knowledge of what's going on there, since I am on the list in question) I wonder how much of the other things have been too. We'll probably never really know.
