      Android can be free software but it takes so doing and has limitations

      Just as Linux-libre has limitations. Mainstream Linux is never 100% FOSS.

        The Android kernel is generally pretty bad and right now we are missing a build for the newer versions of the Android SDK.

        We also have free software phones or phones that are very close but they are 3G. The main problem is that the telephone has always kind of been a tool for surveillance. Cell phones are no exception and the modem in your phone is a total black box.
