To be clear, they updated their EULA in response to this. See http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS4872069549.html. But the device still ships with proprietary components, and is less free than the OpenMoko.
I didn't realise that; thanks - for the longest time, the version of Qtopia it shipped with wasn't free software either (Qtopia 4 has only been available under the GPL quite recently AIUI).
Moko also has the advantage of being designed for actual end-users, not just people who want a prototype to develop phone software on. FSFE could do a lot worse than dropping those guys a line to see if they could get their hands on some hacker's lunchboxes - from what I've seen of the project (I intend to buy one when P1 ships), they are truly worthy of support.
Cheers,
