The text at https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html has the following unclarities:

First, in the section about the RYF criteria,

The FSF RYF guidelines state the following:

“However, there is one exception ...”

This is a violation of every principle the FSF stands for ...

it is unclear what is the exception unless one has read the relevant part in the RYF criteria. I suggest writing something like "This exception means that X. This is a violation of every principle the FSF stands for ..."

Secondly, in the same section's sentence "At the moment, lbmk concerns itself ..." it is unclear what is lbmk unless one has read more documentation. Perhaps something like the following could be an option "At the moment, lbmk (the code for making Libreboot) concerns itself ..." I am not sure what exactly is lbmk, but I guessed it's what constitutes Libreboot's code.

Otherwise the text is very clear and explains the position on blobs well. I think at the end of the text there's quite a bit of ranting, to the point I learned more about the FSF than Libreboot / Osboot. Perhaps these could be in a separate page? Up to you, it's fine overall I feel.

23e15b8a63 addresses the lack of explanation about lbmk. It removes all mention of lbmk, and instead says "the Libreboot build system"
