It's possible to make the Beaglebone Black boot with only free software, if you don't use the 3D acceleration. It runs Das U-Boot, and all of the drivers and firmware (other than for 3D acceleration and some other stuff regarding audio encoding if I remember correctly) is free software, because it runs on a TI OMAP. The designs for the TI OMAP chips are also freely available. I'd hasten a guess that it is one of the most free computers widely available. I might get one to play around with.
