Also be aware that a device running CyanogenMod is almost certainly still running non-free software: they use the same non-free drivers as Android, and include some of the same non-free applications. The only free-software Android port I know of is Replicant, but (for the same reason, i.e. non-free drivers) is not available for many devices yet since they depend on re-implementing drivers as free software. -- \ “I used to be an airline pilot.
