Yes, the FSF was very clear. I wish that Purism were equally transparent.

dollars to keep afloat.
Minifree manages to survive selling only freedom respecting products.
Technoethical sells some products that are not 100% libre, but they are
extremely upfront about it so that potential customers are not mislead.
Compare the Purism page I linked to to the Technoethical page I linked to.
> cleaning up the distro is a great step
It's Debian based. Once you remove the non-free and contrib repositories from
Debian there is no more "cleaning up" to do as far as freedom goes.

computer these days with fully open hardware
That's why pretending to have free hardware is dangerous. Why would anyone
support libreboot or EOMA68 if they don't understand why such efforts are
necessary?
