Difference between Coreboot and Libreboot

Coreboot vs. Libreboot

coreboot, formerly known as LinuxBIOS, is a software project aimed at replacing proprietary firmware (BIOS or UEFI) found in most computers with a lightweight firmware designed to perform only the minimum number of tasks necessary to load and run a modern 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. Libreboot (briefly known as GNU Libreboot) is a free software project based on coreboot, aimed at replacing some of the proprietary BIOS firmware contained in some computers, though does require certain vendor code on some platforms as that code may not have been replaced with libre software.
