"What is LibertyBSD? OpenBSD is universally known as an operating system designed with security in mind, proudly being able to say that it has had "Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!" However, OpenBSD ships with several pieces of non-free, binary only firmware in the base system, and depending on the hardware detected, by default a script will download more at first boot, without informing the user of this. While there may be good reasons for including this firmware, with a default installation you might end up running some of these non-free programs without even knowing it. That's why I decided to make a "deblobbed" version of OpenBSD. So that you can get all of the benefits of OpenBSD, while being sure that there are no non-free blobs lurking in the depths of your system. This version is called LibertyBSD."
