The GeeksPhone One (ARMv6) (and I presume the GeeksPhone Zero)[1] is freedom respecting. Rhombus-Tech[2] is creating a Raspberry Pi-like product that will be 100% freedom respecting. Even the hardware designs are free.[3] I am not sure about the OpenMoko Freerunner. Since it was brought up in a similar discussion on IRC, I'll go ahead and rule out the Pandora[4] as it requires non-free firmwares.[5] [1] http://www.geeksphone.com/en/ [2] http://rhombus-tech.net/ [3] http://git.rhombus-tech.net/?p=eoma.git;a=summary [4] http://openpandora.org/ [5] http://pandorawiki.org/Introduction_to_firmware ~ Luke Shumaker _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.parabolagnulinux.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
