Because libreboot.at was a website from the maintainers that were booted by Leah when she took over the Libreboot project after abandoning it.

GNU Project or FSF has nothing to do with it, the guys of GNU Boot are only associate members of FSF.

Happy to be corrected, but according to these two websites [1] [2], the maintainers that were booted were Andrew Robbins and Sebastian Grzywna, and that happened two years before Adrien Bourmault and Denis Carikli created libreboot.at.

Libreboot.at itself seems to be a reaction to binary-blobs, not to this other drama.

Unless there was a third "abandonment" and a "takeover" after that, I don't see how those events are related. Once again, happy to be corrected.

The OP link is a trademark enforcement action for an FSF-owned trademark.

A project cannot enforce FSF-owned trademarks if the FSF "has nothing to do with it."

I suspect you know very well that what you said is false.

Okay, I will give you that. GNU Boot is probably part of the GNU Project, given the tone of the GNU Boot maintainer, but GNU Project itself is not part of this drama.

> No. The better question is, why didn't FSF contact Leah before trying to publish their own Libreboot releases at libreboot.at? Why did they try to impersonate Libreboot?

That's not a better question at all. They list out their explicit reasoning for their attempted name takeover. I definitely don't agree with it, but I have no reason to believe that they're lying about their own beliefs.

I absolutely do have reason to doubt Leah's words of releasing GNU Boot as being in good faith though. Their history of drama with them is the reason for my doubt.

In terms of practicality, I feel like a better reaction would have been to either trademark their project name or maintain a separate fork of Libreboot that would include the binary blobs. Why resort to trademark infringement?

Leah did it to dunk on them for being lesser coders who based their work on outdated dependencies, which is laudable. The other party did it to masquerade as the work of the better coder

The whole thing is unprofessional on both sides. At least the libreboot fork site is clear in why it was created, but the core boot fork page is a mess.

There's absolutely nothing laudable in that at all and it screams of drama queen. "Lesser coders" - well that's is one person I'd avoid at all cost. Also, empty barrels make the most noise!

Dramaphobic, and probably transphobic to boot. You need to be better than you are right now.

He needs a good dose of bussy to straighten him out.

It says a lot that you see an aversion to drama as a bad thing. I have no idea what transphobic got to do with anything, but I'm not surprised someone who apparently has a drama fetish throws it around.
