Chris and Cyberhawk thank you for the comments.

Disheartening.

There is over 50 motherboards in that list. They have done quite a lot of work, which doesn't seem to benefit Trisquel or the vendors that sell Trisquel Computers.

"The coreboot project was started in the winter of 1999 in the Advanced Computing Laboratory at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) by Ron Minnich."


One assumes that something so important to the Free Software Foundation there would be direct efforts by FSF to get important hardware BOISes released under the GPL, or structure financing to have a dedicated team earning their livelihood on this project. To ask a single Linux computer system vendor to finance this on their own doesn't make sense. Not even to work on motherboards that dedicated GNU/Linux computer system vendors such a ThinkPenguin, InaTux, and Los Alamos Computers are currently selling or are planning on selling...they way the project is structured I can't imagine they even asked.
