All the kernels in the Trisquel repo have had the FSFLA linux-libre scripts run against them. Thus linux-generic is a kind of linux-libre++. linux-libre also happens to be the beginning of the name of the forward kernel packages built for Trisquel by jxself[1]. However, there's no real reason I can think of to be running one of those on any of the libreboot supported devices. Leny [1] https://jxself.org/linux-libre/
