Coreboot (Official) ☛ Response to blog post from MALIBAL – coreboot
It is important to emphasize that contact with this laptop vendor was terminated early in the process. Aside from NDAs that are common for new product development, no contracts or statements of work were signed and no money changed hands. Any suggestion from this vendor’s blog that a coreboot consultant failed to deliver on work they were hired or paid to do is false and defamatory.
