site/download.md: refer to GNU Boot and simplify "statically linked" paragraph
This commit simplifies the "statically linked" paragraph by removing unneeded references to another project releases older than GNU Boot. Also it makes the text only refer to GNU Boot. Signed-off-by: Adrien 'neox' Bourmault <neox@gnu.org>

Libreboot includes statically linked executables in some releases, built from

GNU Boot releases do not distribute statically linked binaries. These releases are source-only, besides pre-compiled ROM images. These releases automate the installation of build dependencies, with instructions in the documentation for building various utilities from source. These executables are utilities such as `flashrom`.

the available source code. Those executables have certain libraries built into

them, so that the executables will work on many GNU+Linux distros.

Libreboot 20160907 was built in Trisquel GNU+Linux, version 7.0 64-bit.
|
|
||||||
Some older Libreboot releases will have been built in Trisquel 6.0.1.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To comply with GNU GPL v2, Trisquel 6 and 7 source ISOs are supplied by the
|
|
||||||
Libreboot project. You can find these source ISOs in the `ccsource` directory
|
|
||||||
on the `rsync` mirrors.

Libreboot releases past version 20160907 do not distribute statically linked
|
|
||||||
binaries. Instead, these releases are source-only, besides pre-compiled ROM
|
|
||||||
images for which the regular Libreboot source code archives suffice. These newer
|
|
||||||
releases instead automate the installation of build dependencies, with instructions
|
|
||||||
in the documentation for building various utilities from source.
