As a Free Software user, it appears to me there are two aproaches
happening at this time:
1.	Building Open Hardware with Free Software. Because of the limited
number of to be sold articles, they come at a premium price. (If they
don't come at a premium price, being buggy can be a "feature"). The
premium price tag makes it nice for the affluent among us, but does
not help with more adoption of Open Hardware and Free Software for the
rest of us.
2.	Reinventing back existing hardware, like Coreboot and Replicant, do
help with the adoption of Free Software, but they have the
disadvantages that developers walk behind existing hardware and buyers
still finance non-free software development.
