Title has a typo, should be “liberated”.

Edit: I noticed that the article's page title is also misspelled this way.

I assume it's intentional, playing on "libre" (as in libre software, not just gratis software)

As just the biggest problem with that idea, the typo doesn't exist on the page. It's in the HN title, and the page's HTML <title> tag.

It does exist on the page. It's in the description of the repository below the repository name.

Funny, I once called out a typo and got ridiculed and downvoted into oblivion. Seems it goes against HN terms of service or something...

Look again.

You're right that the text you're thinking of used to be in that space, if you mean the "About" blurb.

But you're not right about the page contents. The "About" is github metadata, just like the partial commit message "android: multidevice capabilites and accessiblit..." that you can also find. And just like that message, it was full of typos because it's not public-facing.

But there is an actual page talking about the project, which is what we're all commenting on here, and which never contained the typo.
