Hi, I asked the Open-PC Team whether their Computer is entirely free and got the following reply I wanted to share with you, because there are some people who spread the rumor that the Open-PC is entirely free.

But for the hardware we rely on components from company like Asus. I don´t know if the BIOS trey us is open? Cheers Frank --------- Hello, I\'m interested in your Open-PC and also want recommend it to friends. However, I would like to know if the Open-PC is based entirely on Free Software, i.e. does it require any proprietary software (e.g. Firmware or Kernel modules) or does it have a proprietary BIOS. I would really like to have a free Computer which uses coreboot or similar software and uses entirely free drivers.
