recently i have discovered this list with truly opened operative systems that
the FSF recommeds.
Is OpenMoko absolutely compromise with open source? If yes, have you thought
in asking to add OpenMoko to that list?
Depends on what you mean. Openmoko is a distro, company and a piece
of hardware. I only consider the hardware here since I do not use
the openmoko distro but debian on my phone.
The GSM stack runs an a separate ARM processor using a proprietary
operating system (Nucleus PLUS real-time operating system based on
strings from the firmware image). It was not field-upgradeable until
late 2008 when openmoko inc. published a port of the firmware upgrade
utility fluid.exe (it's binary-only) so that a bug could be fixed.
The wlan, gps and bluetooth chips also run some proprietary code but I
do not know if they are field-upgradeable.
