Reading the comments and replies on the linked page what the boot code must do is load microcode into the Videocore from the SD card. Liz@RPi says they have plans to release a board under a different brand which keeps a non-changeable version of the GPU microcode in a serial ROM in order to meet the FSF approval criteria. I look forward to it.
