You can use the Pi in freedom, but then you are limited to 128 kb of sram.
The sdram won't work without nonfree software. This is the same problem that
the librem has.
I hope that gcc gets ported to the VideoCore IV GPU, I think that will a

Ya, it is still non-free and it appears that the Raspberry Pi Foundation has
taken many steps backwards in terms of
freedom. According to their blog post [1] about it, they are promoting a

What parts of the software must find a free software solution in
order to make the raspberry pi 2 a free software computer?
There is some more info here, but it sounds like there aren't any new
developments from a free software perspective in particular:
There are comments on some pieces of hardware here that might contain some
clues.

IMHO, Raspberry Pi's are overrated - not only in terms of free software, but
also about their hardware specifications.
Last time I did a market research, there were a lot of interesting board with
a better price/performance ratio, but without much popularity.
Raspberry Pi 2 doesn't seem to
