Does LibreBoot have the lawyers to enforce compliance with the GPL? As we have seen with Linux/busybox/etc, the GPL is not magic pixie dust and is close to useless without lawyers to back it up. As we have also seen, financial support from corporate sponsors is not the best way to ensure that GPL compliance work continues; better is if the Free Software directly crowd-funds that work.

I already donate to the SFC. Considering the fact that the FSF recommends laptops flashed with LibreBoot, I would assume that the FSF would fund them in some way but I'm not sure. Should probably shoot them an email to find out.
