Yeah, there's still at least two proprietary parts in openmoko's
Freerunner: GSM and Glamo.

GSM: as open source its tough because there are FCC certifications involved.

Smedia Glamo 3362 (Graphics chip) :  NDAd .

I'm hoping glamo gets replaced, also for technical reasons (good, but
not great chip imho) .
