Not quite: you can run Ubuntu without any non-free components, but you can't exactly boot the N800 without a bootloader. For Maemo as a platform, generally the split is similar to Ubuntu (i.e. non-free stuff makes use of free stuff, and not in the other direction), but as you hit the lower levels of the stack, it's not so clear-cut. Also, the FIASCO generator would presumably have to be opened for this to happen. Cheers, Daniel (who has no position on the matter, or influence, but is just drive-by commenting)
