Libreboot Drama Continues, GNU Might Keep The Project

Eidolon asks that people please not refer to themselves in the third person[1][2]. It doesn't lend an air of professionalism or distinction, it just looks silly.

I know some people will disagree, but I think the GNU Project should not contest Leah taking Libreboot in the direction she wants to take it. She is the "main developer, original author and founder of the libreboot project" and "manages the libreboot website and git repository". If contributors want to stick with the GNU Project, they can fork Libreboot. This is already contentious, there is no reason to up the drama factor.
Likewise, Leah needs to stop seeking a refund of her donations to the FSF.
Enough campaigning.

No matter the outcome, it's pretty clear to me that Leah is not going to be satisfied. I believe a fork would be less of a distraction than wrestling over maintainership of Libreboot.

FYI: Assigning copyright to FSF is an optional decision to be done by the project itself. It is not mandatory.
Personal notes:
1) Assigning/transferring copyright is invalid in many countries of the world (e.g. in my country), hence the piece of paper FSF asks you to sign as a contributor may be worthless.
2) FSF promises you $1 for the transfer of copyright, but fails to pay. This also makes the agreement void in many countries.

At the time I wrote it, I had some hopes up. For now, I'll just follow my own advice and go back to configuring and playing with a freshly installed Linux system.
Perhaps Ronnie James Dio and Black Sabbath were indeed right, the mob does rule.
