Not to be a pedant but just out of genuine curiosity, how "free" is the raspi zero? Is it like modern Intel/AMD hardware where you can generally run a fully free OS on it but with proprietary firmware on the hardware, or like Android devices where you need proprietary graphics drivers but have a decent amount of control over the software, or is it "free" like librebooted hardware?
