I mean, I'm just going to come out and say it - unless there are emails or something it's got to be hard for the FSF or the employee to make any sort of claims.

I mean, I'm just going to come out and say it - unless there are emails or something it's got to be hard for the FSF or the employee to make any sort of claims.
If there is not a lawsuit this probably shouldn't even be a thing.

To be honest, because I see no evidence - just a bunch of pointing fingers, this seems super unprofessional and possibly just downright defamation on the part of libreboot. Now if evidence is provided I'd be happy to change my mind, but overall this seems pretty childish.
Some of the Reddit comments:
> Having had interactions with this particular developer before, they are a very ...impulsive individual and given to extreme snap judgements and opinions (banning discussion of using any *BSD with Libreboot on the IRC channel for the project because BSD isn't "free enough" comes to mind).
> This reaction doesn't really surprise me, regardless of however accurate it may or may not be (and I lean more towards giving the FSF the benefit of the doubt here)
Then there's another who supposedly knows the people involved:
> Leah has psychological problems. Don't let that be reflective of the majority in the Free Software Community. It is certainly a risk to the LibreBoot project. The problem is she is the primary person behind LibreBoot. It's a good project otherwise.
> I know Leah and I know the people accused. Leah's statements are without merit and twisted into things because she is mad. She has a clear history of making false and/or misleading statements against people and organizations she perceives to have wronged her."
Again, because there is no evidence this seems to just be a way to punish FSF because someone got mad.
