Sure thing. But you are missing the point.

Calling a GPLv2 licensed software non-free means, that you does not know how
to differentiate free software from non-free. You can read the full GPLv2

AFAIK, the Gluglug X60 model has a completely free BIOS, except the Embedded
Controller, which may be a part of the BIOS or not. Chromebooks from Google
have microcode blobs in Coreboot (the BIOS) included,
Gluglug removes the nonfree microcode update that coreboot normally
has.
HP Chromebook 14 (codenamed Butterfly) has these and other blobs:
