+description: "The LibreSOC Project is an ethically developed processor, based on OpenPOWER,\
+  \ intended for use in smartphones netbooks tablets chromebooks and Industrial Embedded\
+  \ SBC products.  There will be no DRM, no TPM, and no backdoor spying co-processors.\r\
+  \n\r\nThe entire source code, traditionally known to OEMs as a \"Board Support Package\"\
+  , will not only be available free of charge under Libre Licenses, right to the BIOS\
+  \ level, the hardware HDL will also likewise be available (and is already available\
+  \ as it is developed).  Access to a full BSP with greatly simplified drivers for\
+  \ 3D and Video is a huge cost and time saving for businesses.\r\n\r\nIt's also a\
+  \ fantastic educational and research base.  Which would you rather have: a Pi-style\
+  \ SBC where the GPU boots the processor from a closed source binary and kids are\
+  \ taught that to play videos they must pay a license fee for a closed binary decoder,\
+  \ or would you prefer that they are able to get the full source of even the hardware\
+  \ and boot the entire processor including the GPU and VPU on a $200 FPGA and learn\
+  \ how it works?"

+new_this_year: LibreSOC has extra funding from NLnet, for the Video driver,
+  and for a MESA 3D driver as well.  We are also funded to make a 180 nm test
+  ASIC due for tape-out in March.  We also have plans for make a 5 port
+  Gigabit Ethernet Hub processor (running OpenWRT and LibreCMC).
+  Ridiculous amount going on: you're more than welcome to help.
+showcase: To learn that there exists an alternative to proprietary processors
+  from Intel, ARM and AMD, and that yes, they can actually be part of making
+  that happen.  NLnet donations are available, and we have profit-sharing
+  in any commercial ventures and spin-offs.  With thanks to Staf Verhagen
+  of Chips4Makers - https://chips4makers.io/ - for the 100% Libre FlexLib
+  Cell Library including SRAM; Jean-Paul and the team from https://lip6.fr
+  for coriolis2, and NLnet https://nlnet.nl for funding our research.
