> I'm not sure whether its fully open hardware It's not - it's pretty much a regular unlocked Android phone in this regard, which is why it was stuck on old Android version for a while. Other OSes work there by using Android compatibility layers. It is a very interesting and noteworthy project because of other reasons that you already mentioned, but FLOSS-friendliness of its components isn't one of them (which isn't surprising, as this requirement limits your available choices quite a lot; and so do the Fairphone's other requirements already).
