That is also a mobile phone operating system which (limited) success is based on Free Software a lot.
Sailfish is not completely Free Software:
yes, just like 99.9% of real-world Android running devices. Some parts like the oFono Sailfish seems to be more Free Software than what Android does, but I am not sure.
I know purism pays some developers to integrate a full Gnome platform with a custom shell (phosh). To my humble knowledge this seems to be the most active fully free software stack right now (other than AOSP) which can be implemented on real hardware phones.
But there are no real world phones (so far) and Purism seems to re-implement a lot of components, which is a risk. I hope they succeed (and participated in their fundraiser), but it is not a real life option yet.
